Sheepskin is the New Black

Here in the country - OK, Connecticut might not be the most rural of places - people decorate their homes accordingly.  Rustic, antique-y, country.

What goes better on a wood floor in front of a roaring fireplace in the dead of winter?  If you guessed sheepskin rugs, then you're right.  If you want a white one or one in chocolate brown, fear not, they're out there.  And they all look good.

Comfysheep isn't a one trick pony either - they have plenty of sheepskin products for you to choose from.  Slippers?  They've got them.  Boots?  Check.  Yoga mats?  You know it.  They even have sheepskin seat covers for you to choose from.

Not only are the products top of the line, they are headquartered here in the USA - right in Southern California.  They've been in the sheep game for over 25 years, so they aren't going anywhere - except to your living room or car.  If you aren't on the west coast, don't worry - as long as you're in Canada or the 50 states, you can have it delivered right to your door.  Oh, did I mention FREE SHIPPING?

Sheepskin has something about it that resonates with all people - it's great looking and soft to the touch, unlike some other skins.  And if you have a dog, I'm sure they'll love laying on the plush rug in front of the fireplace.

If you're looking to decorate or add a little spice to your home or car, look no further.  You're sheepskin products are only a mouse click away.

Serious Surfing

Even though winter is here, the surf is still up.  The north shore of Long Island - and south shore of Connecticut, my state of residence - is prime surf territory, regardless of season or weather. 

In the dead of winter, having the right gear is essential if you want to surf, primarily a good wetsuit.  And what brand name pops in your head when you think about wetsuits ??? BODY GLOVE!

Not only are they cutting edge and rad, they also have ridiculous amounts of promotions going on.  Right now, if you go to any of their "core shops" and simply try on a PR1ME wetsuit, you get a free trucker hat.  Try it on...that's all you need to do.

Chances are, when you're in the shop, you'll find a ton of other Body Glove gear that'll be right up your alley - unless you're not as cool as Body Glove is.  They've got bodyboards, wakeboards, watches, rashguards, and of course, wetsuits.

Bill and Bob Meistrell, the founders of the company, are the pioneers in the wetsuit game.  So Body Glove has to put out the best products.

Chances are, if it's good enough Bruce Irons, it's good enough for you.

So if you're serious about your surfing, you need serious gear.

Surf's Up!

According to a few articles I've read, The Washington Post is getting the first interview with Joe Paterno following the entire debacle.  Who said newspapers were going the way of the dinosaur?
