I don’t know where to start...do I start every newsletter with that line?...maybe just in my own head.

First, Navy Beans. Over the next couple of weeks every box size will get them. These are Ohio grown (of course), Organic (of course), from Shagbark. Coolest part? WE ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT HAVE THEM! We bought them ALL, FOR YA’LL! That’s the kind of cool stuff that is happening for YB’ers now. Do you understand that you are changing the food system for growers, purveyors, AND eaters?

HAPPY FRIDAY!

After taking a couple months off, I now have a backlogged catalog of things I want to show you.

I have a bit of a Santa Claus complex (finding fun surprises for people that I think they will enjoy), so this is a way to use up some of that energy. What I don't use here, we use each week when we go out and find the best food to bring to our Yellowbird customers.

Hot Diggity Dog it feels good to be back in the saddle.

Taking a couple months off has proven to be a great time to recharge the batteries, revamp the vision, and CONSUME MORE CONTENT. It has been hard to not just jump right back in and start writing again, but I wanted to let my proverbial "pot" get a nice rolling boil before adding the the Friday 5 back into my weekly rituals.

We've reached the END...of Season 1

We are somewhere around 35 consecutive "Friday 5's". I am not joking when I say that I hear more feedback on the "Friday 5" emails, than other form of communication we publish each week. I had the thought over the weekend that it might be time to let us all rest from my opinions for a spell.

Over the next couple of months I will put out some random content but for the most part we will be working on new ideas and new concepts.

In the mean time, here is what is coming up that you don't want to miss...

Third grade. Birthday party at a friends house. Stayed up until 5am. First Rated R Movie.

6th Grade. First Rated R movie with parents. Watched on a RENTED VCR! Yippe Ki Yay Mr. Falcon

The Last Time I Used The Friday 5 This Way...

I received the most responses of any Friday 5 to date.

It is no coincidence that the last time I did this it was also for the same 2 guys having a conversation.

There is SOOOO much great content in this 2 hour conversation, but I don't want to lead the audience with my thoughts on it.

Let's talk Sneak's, Kick's, and Tennie's.

Over the year's, my love for shoes has grown but like all good relationships it's complicated.

I don't love ALL shoes or even like going into shoe stores.  I only really like about 3 different styles of shoes, but each of those I LOVE.
