In one of my first posts after returning to the EconLog team, I wrote:

Last Spring, a student came to my class wearing a shirt reading “Basketball Never Stops.” I need to get a shirt that says “Economics Never Stops.”

Sensing a profit opportunity, commentor Jim offered this lovely design.

When I returned to the office after a week or so of travel, I was surprised to find a package in my mailbox from an anonymous reader containing not one but two “Economics Never Stops” shirts, pictured below. On was a Large, the other an Extra-Large because my amazingly kind and thoughtful reader wasn’t sure which size I wear. Whoever you are, thank you very, very much; it was a touching gift.

I usually wear an XXL but aspire to an XL after I drop a few pounds. Hence, I have an extra gray “Economics Never Stops” t-shirt that will be used as a prize in an EconLog contest sometime soon. Keep watching this space for an announcement.
