The Blue Shirt lives on (with a new owner)!
I'm sure you all remember Moose's ongoing commentary on our travelogue about Michael's blue travel shirt and its reoccurring appearance in our photos. Once we returned we decided that there was no better way to honor the spirit of the shirt and its number one fan than to wrap it up and give it to Moose as a souvenir! Moose seemed appropriately honored by the gift (even tried it on) and I'm sure he'll find ways to ensure that the legend of the shirt lives on!!
(Also, I put up some pictures from Thanksgiving here.)
Moose: That beautiful, world-famous artlcle of clothing had best never wind up being auctioned on E-bay. Donated to the Cycling Hall of Fame 70+ years from now by your estate? That would be wonderful, but never sully its image and glory by a base grab for the cash!!! Congratulations on receiving the ultimate Christmas present. Mike McAra(Papa)
Ja, ich gratuliere auch, Moose, und ich hoffe, du hältst es gebührend in Ehren!!! Ich weiß ja schon seit Sydney, dass du es bekommst - seitdem warte ich gespannt auf deinen Kommentar dazu, Henni
(Und Michael: irgendwie geht mir dieses berühmte Hemd aber auf den neuesten Fotos von dir richtig ab!)
