Blue Demons

I would occasionally watch DePaul's fantastic basketball teams in the early '80s.  Their games were shown on cable network, WGN.

Skincare Routine

When I was growing up, I remember my mother always using Clinique face soap.  And I've been using it for a lot of my life.




And then I apply a moisturizing lotion.

DoiTung Coffee

 




DoiTung Coffee is a premium, single-origin 100% Arabica coffee cultivated in the Golden Triangle of Northern Thailand, specifically within the Nang Non mountain range. Grown under shade by local communities as part of the sustainable Mae Fah Luang Foundation project, it is known for its balanced taste with fruity, caramel notes, offering light to dark roasts, drip coffee, and capsules.  - source

Since we purchased our new Breville espresso machine, we have been sampling a huge variety of coffee beans.  You can check them out here.

Just got finished posting my 2025 Thailand photos.  You can see them here.

Gayfers



This was one of my go-to department stores in Dothan.  My grandmother also loved Gayfers.  I recall going there with her many times.  And when Christmas rolled around, she would often buy our gifts (clothing) there.  When she got older, she would just give us a check and tell us to buy our own gifts.  I'm pretty we'd wrap them and put them under the tree to be opened in front of everybody on Christmas Eve.  That's what I remember anyway.

Oster Hair Clippers




I swear by these clippers.  I have another pair that still does a good job.
