Summer Is Here

Howdy y'all! Phoenix Chestnut here! Just checking in. The warm weather is here in Sacramento, which means it's time for cutoff shorts. I used to look down on cutoffs when I was younger. I thought it looked sloppy. I thought only poor people did it. As I've gotten older, I've taken a liking to them. They're very comfortable and almost anything goes with them...t shirts, polo shirts, Hawaiian shirts, tank tops, and jerseys (baseball, football and basketball). And you can wear them anywhere...the gym, the beach, ballgames, brunch, the pool, playing pickleball, concerts, anywhere! I have about six pairs now. I love them. 
I saw this picture of some Canadian boys wearing cutoffs at a car show. I always think that summer is here when that picture goes viral in June. 
Until next time!

I was driving around today, doing errands I've been putting off. I was driving on 28th Street off of Elkhorn Blvd. I saw a herd of cattle I've never seen before out there.

June 1st

Hey everyone! Just checking in. Been very busy with work. I'm in the middle of a four day weekend. Friday I spent the whole day in bed. Yesterday I went out when the sun went down. Today I just had a cheap lunch and running some errands. Nothing exciting. I have a mountain of laundry to concour. Not looking forward to it. I have some exciting post ideas coming up. Until next time!

Preppy Sensibilities

I was a preppy as a teenager. In my twenties I moved towards t shirt and jeans. In my thirties I went back to preppy. Then I got serious with someone who was a country girl. So I turned myself into a country boy. T shirt, jeans and boots (cowboy, work and hiking). I liked what I called the "Everyman" look. Women would look. The ex said I was too much of a pretty boy at times. She claimed it took me longer to get ready. After we broke up, I still embraced the "Everyman" look. Phoenix Chestnut is built on it.  Young Phoenix Chestnut played tennis often in tennis whites. Young Phoenix Chestnut was looking for a preppy girl to spend time with, a Buffy or a Muffy. No such luck. The preppy girls liked the rough around the edges boys...the "Everyman". I couldn't win.  What's my point writing this? Phoenix Chestnut might go back to his preppy sensibilities. I came across my old tennis sweaters, polish, argyle sweaters, golf club hats. Instead of cutoff jea...
