Sam I. replied to Joey R's discussion Journaling" Journals are a good receptacle for thoughts you'd just like out of your head, if you're not narcissisistic enough to believe other people would read it if you put it in a blog. I've kept one on and off through the years,…"
Sam I. replied to Vir Beatum's discussion Men in Short Trousers" I think for outdoor activities, a good pair of shorts can be the right choice. Dark greens or browns, in a cargo variety look decent and are very functional on the right sort of hike, canoe trip, or walk on a hot…"
