With the wife heading home to Iowa to surprise her mom for her 75th, my friend offered me the chance to ride as a parade Marshall in the Krewe of Carrollton today. Basically riding in the parade and being ready incase something happens. The shirt, Perry Ellis The jeans, Daniel Cremieux The boots, Durango The scent, Oud for Graatness Neo The watch, Apple The hair, by me Make it a good day.

My friend Mona who owns the 40 x 60 unconditioned shed we meet for martial arts workouts, had the flu or something for several weeks then snowmageddon hit so we couldn’t meet for the whole month of January. Today was the first day in 2026 we got to do our weekly pre church kickboxing class. This time of year it’s an exercise of shedding layers to exercise in the cold building. I got new iPhone recently and a $.99 per month Apple Watch paid over 36 months so I thought what the heck I’ll try a $36 watch/computer. So I wore two watches on my first OOTD. Following the workout I attended our services on Scout Sunday and as the troop Chaplain felt I needed to be in full class A regalia for my second OOTD. After the service we had a review of another great John Mark Comer book. So preceding my nap and Super Bowl festivities (third OOTD pending) I truly had a Body, Spirit, and Mind day so far.
