We received a new ball cap in the mail yesterday... like this:
That's obviously a Red Wings chapeau and it's the 19th addition to my collection o' ball caps, one of which you'll rarely see me without.

ReplyDeleteMy SN2 had the foresight to save a never-worn organizational hat from every command he's served in. He has 'em up on the wall in his den and I'm SO envious!
