PhotoHunt 106: Thirteen (13)
The latest PhotoHunt category from tnchick.com is “Thirteen (13)” which can be interpreted as one sees fit. Well, the number thirteen is what I consider my lucky number. I’m not superstitious. When Tallahassee had a minor league hockey team (Tallahassee Tigersharks) I usually wore hockey jerseys which I collected. My normal source for custom jerseys back then was a place called River City Sports and I bought many jerseys from them many years ago. I still have them all. BUT…whereas back then when I was morbidly obese, they fit me snugly but now they fit like a tent (see post immediately prior to this one for weight loss update). Also, one of my favorite sports movies is “Slap Shot” so I purchased some Charlestown Chiefs jerseys from River City Sports and had them customized them with with my last name on the back. I got one for myself and one for my wife.
What number did I pick for myself?
The number 13, of course! And my wife’s jersey is number 14.

I didn’t even know you could get custom t-shirts like that. But of course, you can get anything now and I keep forgetting! Great colors, and I like that 13, too!

Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting on my PhotoHunt shots. I love yours. I’m Canadian, so of course I love hockey and “Slap Shot” is a classic. Oh, and congrats on all the weight loss. What a huge accomplishment. Cheers, eh.

Cool 13 jersey you have there, and “go you” for taking that “unlucky” number and making it your own. It sounds like something my firstborn would do.
I appreciate your comments on my blog. :-)
I read down your blog a bit and admire you for doing all the work a gastric bypass takes. We have a neighbor who did it, and it’s no cake walk, for sure. I enjoyed reading all your songs for the two-CD set you made. I admit, I knew only a handful, and I consider myself pretty up on music! The one I knew best was the Monkees song.
Have a great week!

PS. I haven’t been getting your tb’s. My tb’s are not reaching you either. Hmm. I wonder what is wrong? Any thoughts? I don’t have a clue. That’s why I put it in the comment section. We know how to get around this. ;)

Great entry for this week’s theme. I was number 14 in high school on a couple of sports. The Fort in question on my blog was Fort Edmonton in Alberta.
I read through your post below. Congratulations on your weight reduction. You sure look a lot different. I bet you feel a lot better. Way to go.
