Emptees may be on the greatest tee-centric sites out there. The site features a TON of amazing designs, a lively forum and a Resources section that is actually resourceful. Here’s a quick hit list of my fave five tees that up for sale via other sites.
Our little Liam is almost 7 mos. old and I’m really in disbelief how quickly time is flying by. It seemed like a just a few hours ago, he couldn’t hold his head up and just this evening he went from laying on his back to standing in one quick motion (with only minor assistance from yours truly).
Other developments – personality traits, feeding habits, mannerisms – have also been flourishing at light speed. Much to our delight, Liam likes virtually all of the fruits and vegetables that we’ve been feeding him. If my own parents could hijack this blog, I’m sure they’d recount my finicky ways at the dinner table. Thankfully, Liam has a healthy and inclusive appetite.
Sure enough, there have been bumps in the road. Coping with his first ear ache, finding new day care and keeping the house from becoming a full-blown mess have been challenging. Somehow, some way, we’ve made it thus far.
There’s no doubt that time will keep on slippin’ into the future.
And now for some pictorial hits from the past 7 months…

Liam just passed the 4 month mark. Time flies when you’re changing diapers, cleaning up spit up and reading bedtime stories. Here are a handful of observations from my short time as a dad:

I’ll come right out and say it – I DIG PURPLE TEES! Most folks treat purple like an old, mangy dog but I think it’s a pretty darn awesome color. So for this installment of TeeDay, I’m going to highlight purple tees.

Looking back, I realized that I should have spent my formative years researching and building a time machine. Now most smarty pants scientists will say that time travel is impossible, I should’ve taken a stab at it. My rock ‘n roll youth was tons of fun but I’m getting to the point in my life where a time machine would really come in handy.
This evening, while giving our son Liam a bath, my wife and I both noticed how much he’s changed in just his short 2+ month life. See the photographic evidence below:

2 Month Old Liam

See what I mean? Everyday is something new and amazing. Now that I’m able to appreciate the long view, I can forsee moments in the future where I’d like the option of hoping in my time machine and seeing all of this magical stuff happen all over again.
Not being schooled in the necessary scientific fields to make this crazy goal a reality, I’ll do everything in my power to fully appreciate every single beautiful moment. But if you happen across a DeLorean with a built-in flux capacitor, please let me know.
Greetings. I hope you’ve been well! Many things are afoot here at LBB HQ:
1: My two-month-old son is a wild man and I’ve been very busy admiring is newborn antics. Truth be told, my wife is the parental rock. She has deciphered his various cries, coos and grunts. All wondrous stuff I assure you
2: When time allows, there’s freelance projects to be done – stuff that I’ll eventually post on my the work page of this website. Many thanks to the magical Mike Doughty (and Mai, his merch manager) for hooking me up with the work.
3: In between the parenting/spousal duties and freelance design work, I’ve been scrapping minutes together to record with my band, endswell. We’re putting some finishing touches on a 3 song EP due out in February. Stay tuned for more info on that
In the meantime, help a dude out and pick up this tee or this tee or this tee.

Is $28 for a tee a bit steep? Yes. Is $28 for this incredibly iconic masterpiece a bit steep? Hellz no. I dig the color palette against the red tee and the beauty and freshness of the design is just perfect. Kudos Turtlehead!
