I bought new flannel since moving to maryland. It's not yet cool enough to wear so I keep the house and office cool as i can so I can wear the flannel and feel cozy. Further, I buy several jugs of pumpkin spice creamer with each store visit; and decaf coffee so I can make a warm pumpkin-spice drink in the evenings....while wearing my flannel....under a blanket at times. Yes, it's ridiculous. Yes it invalidates my man card.
“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
