I really wanted to use Campfire today, but I have an early leadership meeting in a small conference room so I decided to not wear such a polarizing scent and grace everyone with the GTB BABY!! I couldn't find my GTB EdP, so my cowboy is having a cigar out on the range today. It's all good. All scents that blend well.

I'm working a 1/2 day today and then it's all moving all the time until I can rest my weary bones in the new place. @MarkB says "There isn't much that a good shave and hot cup of coffee can't fix" so it's time for the 2nd part of that.

I would like to hear the story of how Merlin came to be named, when you have time. Or should I look back in the Journal... I'll search and see what turns up. In any event, cool name for your Vector!

I found it, page #200, post #3992: "Another great shave from the Vector. Yes, I'll have to name this one. I'm leaning towards Merlin as it's magic how great and irritation free a shave it gives. I thought I was being a little too aggressive on my neck and I was sure I'd have some alum sting. Nope. See? Magical."

Got a ton done yesterday. Lots happening at work given what you see in the news. Trying to stay current on things there so I’m up to speed on my return. Today is the big push at home. Movers come for the big stuff tomorrow so we want to be pretty much moved by the end of the day.
