Here’s a good-looking 24” x 12” duffle bag that you’ll won’t have to search hard for on the baggage carousel. Yes, it’s black, in resilient unwashed cotton canvas, but the stiches are orange, and so is the military-esque printing on one side.

Twin carry handles are stitched around the circumference of the bag, which has (2) zippered pockets on the sides and (1) on the end. Main compartment has double zippers.

We can’t stop popping the tops on these plastic pop-top vials.

If you forget how to do it, after doing it fourteen times in a row when you first get yours, instructions are on the lid. Use them for pills or breath mints or anything you’d put in little canisters you love popping open

When temperatures dip, we’re reminded of the only phrase we can still remember from freshman Latin class: semper ubi sub ubi. Literally, that’s: always where under where, and damn if we can remember the word for “long” because we just got a whole Roman empire’s worth of snug-fitting, long-sleeve thermal tops and thermal top/bottom sets in all the popular sizes—you know, waffle shirts—to fend off the harshness of winter. They’re 65/35 cotton/poly, so expect some shrinkage and plan accordingly. They run small and fit tight so, Pat is a size large so he buys X-large. In white and cream/beige, like a nice warm cup of coffee or cappuccino.

The black elastic strap is adjustable, and the flexible sides and top allow for a better seal against the face.
