new blogging discipline

in any case, i went shopping for shirts last weekend and this weekend.  last weekend was a total failure, as i was informed by both hops and spu that i'd like a tommy bahama shirt, and so we drove 20 minutes to palo alto to the tommy bahama store, only to find out that their prices range from $90 to $150 per shirt, a fact of which i was totally unaware, and of which, apparently, my ignorance sets me apart from the rest of humanity.  i knew that being in the stanford mall, the shirts would be expensive, but I was expecting $50 to $70, because that's my idea of an expensive shirt.

anyhow, i didn't buy one, because as i explained this week, i didn't like just *one* of the shirts, and i don't need just *one* new shirt.  i liked and need many, so i'd be on the hook for a cool grand before i could land a one week set, and that's pretty much unimaginable for me.

this week found me looking for the same style of shirts at hillsdale mall, and while i can say that they carry tommy bahama (shoulda checked there last week, doh) and that they do carry them at a discount, i'm still not paying $70 for a shirt that i'd have to wear with an undershirt lest my gorilla suit peek out.

i did, however, find the perfect shirt for me.  it cost $15 and is ANSI Class 2 compliant.  it's my kinda duds!
