Women's Stadarfell Sports Jacket: 66 North : NeoShell®
Halló from the Hallgrimskirkja Church, the largest place of worship in Reykjavik. Church always makes me thirsty for wine. We'll have to find some Glögg along the way. Since we’re strolling today, we wore our NeoShell® Stadarfell Sports Jacket: the perfect city jacket with a mock neck and it's hoodless so my spa blow-out can be envied by all. Plus it keeps me warm without over-layering and has some stretch to it.

Burton Snowboards :: Men's Burton Minturn Full-Zip Fleece :: 200 Series Fleece
Sometimes, pour moi, riding up to the mountain on the Ski-Doo after a fresh dusting of powder is like a Soul Douche. Tommas is très sportif (what? I just got my 12 crowns in Français on Duolingo). So he, of course, hobnobs with the snowboarding elite. Tommas was wearing Burton Minturn Full-Zip Fleece under his gear, which he adores because they had serious riders in mind when they designed it: Polartec® 200 series fitted this piece with panels under the arms and stretch cuffs to keep the snow out of the wrong places. It reminds me of Sally O’Malley: he can streyatch and keyick and he’s 50! My favorite event of the winter season is the cabin-mansion parties afterwards. We ran into a couple of Team Riders for Burton. Who knew one could “stomp a cab double cork” and throw back vodka shots in the same day?

Dudley Stephens :: Prospect Pullover :: Micro Series Fleece
Now that we’re in quarantine, we’ve taken athleisure up a notch to ATHLUXE with brand Dudley Stephens, which surprisingly delighted me.There’s something about old money that just reminds me of my Soul Home. These gals are polished and they dress for brunch -- such a warm respite from the smell of wet wool. I ordered the Prospect Pullover which has an oversized pop-up collar and a back-dip for fanny coverage plus this Micro Series Fleece is butter being cut with a hot knife, just supple to the touch! I feel so TOGETHER all of the sudden. I think tonight I’ll set my Calm App to the soundscape of rattling my “night-night” pills and fall asleep to that for a change.

Interview-Style Copywriting/Scriptwriting
1. Greg, you have three children...which one is your favorite? Just kidding. We want to know about YOU -- what is a typical day in the life of VP of Platforms & Technologies? And don’t tell us about your boring emails. Jazz it up a bit! We want to get to know the man behind the title...
2. So Greg, your roles in leadership has you traveling quite often; for those of us eager to travel again, what trip has been your most memorable and why? I hear you have quite a story about Blue Water sailing. Did you see a mermaid?
3. You’ve worn a few hats in the roles you’ve had at Autodesk, most recently coming to Platforms & Technologies from Design & Manufacturing. Pretend I’m an alien: describe what Platforms & Technologies is and what they focus on? And give us all the dirty details…
4. Let’s talk about CONVERGENCE and why it’s so important to look beyond the industry when planning for the future. There are new ways of making infrastructure, industrial equipment and heck, new ways of making BUILDINGS. Given that all this change will be digital, will the robots still know that righty is tighty and lefty is loosey? I kid, I kid. Really, though, what do you think the value of convergence is?

Warner Brother’s Optioned this TV Pilot, co-written by me; here’s an excerpt:
BIRDIE
Did you get the “mystery” stain off Carol Sacker’s duvet?
GEMMA
The mystery stain is poop. And, yes - highlight of my day.
BIRDIE
She needs to invest in dark sheets.
GEMMA
She needs to see a doctor.
BIRDIE
I think she likes making us clean her butt juice - gets off on
the power.
GEMMA
I saw her at Circle K. She took four bites off a hot dog then
tried to return it.
BIRDIE
Monster.
They reach the entrance of CLEAN QUEEN DRY CLEANERS.
We are close on Gemma and Birdie’s face as we hear loud
rumbling. We PULL BACK to REVEAL WATER gushing from beneath the
door.
GEMMA BIRDIE
Oh... F*&% ME! Oh...F*&% ME!
MUSIC CUE: LUDACRIS’ “MOVE BITCH GET OUT DA WAY” PLAYS as the two duck and run. GLASS EXPLODES into the air.
