I was reluctant to take something that was made from a mother’s heart, but he assured me she would be happy to see it getting use. So I took him up on the offer.</p> <p>The scarf is huge, warm, soft and long. Even wrapped around my neck twice it reaches past my knees and I’m 6’4” tall.</p> <p>It’s an awesome scarf. I just wish it stayed cold enough here to enjoy it more than a couple days a year. Hopefully, I’ll get more use out of it in Seattle.</p>http://www.scottkurtz.com/post/337980312http://www.scottkurtz.com/post/337980312Sat, 16 Jan 2010 16:48:00 -0500Ashely: Seimens<br /> Me: Heh he he hhe heeee...<br /> Ashley: Someone actually named their company that.<br /> Me: It's so stupid.
