Friday Round Up
#HeyThere
It wasn’t long ago that we met you here at the top of our newsletter asking you to do us a favor – to be kind to someone.
Well, we’re going to do it again because a.) we just added this cool little text box and we need to fill it with text and b.) because it’s really, really important.
We’re not asking for money (although we could always use some cash), we’re not asking you to email us back (we didn’t even notice you haven’t responded in two weeks), and we’re not going to ask you to stand in line for us at Rose’s Luxury (but we’re not going to stop you either).
We’re simply going to ask you to share some positivity with someone today. That’s it.
Thanks for reading.

Recognize this guy? We barely do. Our homeboy Cody Simmons set off on the Pacific Coast Trail back in April and it only took him 5.5 months to earn sore knees and bragging rights. That’s over 150 days of combating rough terrain and even rougher bathroom breaks. Here’s the facial hair that proves victory and the blog that explains it all.
#NewsYouCanLose
Winter is coming. Err, no it isn’t. Jk, maybe it is. Eventually?
