Day: March 20, 2017

Tie o’ the Day #2 is a paisley brown and gold Stacy Adams. 2nd Shirt o’ the Day is an Old Navy distressed plaid. Plaid and paisley create a beautiful crash of clash.

At the Pub, the other barflies appreciate Tie o’ the Day’s efforts to add a little bit o’ class to the atmosphere. They sometimes strain to comprehend the finer points o’ the clashing, but they never take the fashion for granted. Or take it for “granite”.

Hey, remember Granite Furniture? I remember going there in 1995 to register to run in some 10K they were sponsoring. Finished that race with bloody shoulders, where my bra straps dug in. Happened in most races I ran. It didn’t matter what fancy new sports bra technology I wore. Same old same old. Thanks, Mom. At some point it ceased to be worth it, no matter how much pleasure I got from running.

Tie o’ the Day #1 is a Dockers lavender polka dot design.

“Beer Barrel Polka” dot? Why not? That works for me. I learned a few polka moves, accompanied by that masterpiece. It’s the only polka song I know. Now that kind of dance is a both a blast and a workout. I’d rank it right up there with Zumba as far as excersise-value goes. And why isn’t there a Hokey Pokey Polka? It should exist just for the alliteration factor.

Shirt is a sleeveless MACHINE. It is a pleasure to have warm enough weather to go sleeveless. My tattoos have been clamoring to be seen. After 30 years, my “Tattoo” tat–my first tat–needs a touch-up. But it still reigns.

I need a new tat for summer as well. It’s gonna be either “forgiveness” or “kindness”. I am going to get both eventually. Just not sure which to get first. They are both meaningful to me bigly.

And you can be assured that I will also add a tie/bow tie tat.👔
