Hi Jules, your “logo” and t -shirt are captivating from Name to Tagline to image. Love to hear the story behind the image…?

Thank you so much Clark. You've now given me something more to write about...the story behind the image. Thank you.

Good morning B. Hughes! (A playful salutation this morning in case you’ll ever need a nom de plume for clandestine writing purposes)

Joking far aside, the color of the t shirt and the energy of your verbal expression is a winning combination. Let’s not forget the bluebirds either.

I noted regarding ordering a t shirt that participation in “our local club” was not required. Friday @ 11:00? Or the en vivo running/writing meet up in your area? Suppose I currently I don’t run (requires little imagination) or that I’m not a writer (but I am taking the “old dog-new trick approach), I’d be honored to wear one here in Tallahassee.

Two questions: are the shirts 100% cotton? My skin battles with the synthetic contents of many. Second, what are your thoughts on “true to size” fit?

An afterthought: the yellow of the shirt and the blue of the bluebirds evokes thoughts of Ukraine’s flag.

Have a tip top day!

Hi Gary! Thank you for reading and the great questions.

I'm offering the shirts to the community here as well as the local run to write club...walkers too! :) For those of you who aren't local yes we will continue to meet every Friday at 11 am (EST) to write. The T-shirts: Unisex Adult Size: (cotton/poly blend tee) so not 100% cotton. They run a bit big from what I'm told. I hope this helps. Send any more questions my way.

Have a marvelous Monday! :)

Can I order one for a friend - ie mail it to an address rather than mine? (Weird question but the check will come from one address/person and check from another)

I think so, too! My running tops are all very, very bright - mostly orange, fuchsia pink and a scarily fluorescent neon yellow one which I would wear if I knew I was going to be running along a busy road.

Very smart Rebecca! :) Those bright colors are the best on busy roads.
