This is a question for my fellow American gentlemen, what American sports/teams do you follow and is it true that college/high school sports teams are supported as fiercely as professional American sports teams? As an Australian I’ve always found American sports market fascinating, especially when compared to the European, Asian and Australian sports markets.

Weathering a storm is one hell of a feat whether it be a storm of thunder and lightning, water and wind or sand and dust. However there's one storm that every person faces at some point in their lives, and unlike the storms of nature, this storm is invisible to the naked eye that leaves nothing, but destruction in its wake some of it invisible and some of it visible. It's cruelty is unprecedented and its power unnerving, the storm I speak of is the mental storm that runs rampant within our fragile minds, flooding it with depression, loathing, anxiety, stress and guilt. Today marks the 5th year of my war against my mental illness, it's been an interesting year of ups and downs, but no storm lasts forever, and I'm confident that with continued perseverance and tenacity, it'll finally come to an end bringing serenity to my wartorn mind. Thank you to everyone in this group for your support and continued support through these last two years. Your support and comradery are what motivate me to find my footing, carry on my mission to weather the storm and find the serenity that has eluded my mind for 1,826 days. Banjo

One of my favorite combinations is pink and khaki. On the cusp of spring it lends itself so well to the hope of warmer weather to me. As I’ve said many times, pink is one of the primary three conservative colors but it adds another dimension of color that the other two uber versatile colors (blue and white) don’t. In the mid 20th century a lot of home accent colors utilized pink with brown. With only a few more weeks at best of cooler weather here I wanted to get in another wearing of my favorite tweed, a chocolate Donegal weave, so I coupled it with a pink twill shirt.
