A couple years ago, I wanted to buy a t-shirt to wear on the 4^th of July that showcased American identity and pride but was also made in America. Much to my surprise, I found one at Wal Mart and it was affordably-priced. As a bonus, it was made from cotton, comfortable and cut to fit this middle-aged man made in America.

Wouldn't it be nice if doing this more often - buying something that was made in American and affordably-priced - was the norm rather than the exception?

It isn’t easy to do nowadays, that’s for sure.

But, one thing is for sure; your morning cup of middle-aged man reflections about living and dying, gracefully aging and trying to live a good and honest life will never be outsourced to some foreign country far away from home, and composed using cheap foreign labor in a substandard sweat shop work environment.

Nor will legal foreign guest workers ever be used to do this work normally done by made in America middle-aged men workers.

Finally, illegal aliens will never be exploited and used as is shamefully done by many American businesses.

You see, Pierini Fitness middle-aged man reflections will always be made in America.

Pax Domini sit semper vobiscum
