Penguins Are Always Dressed For Formal Events

After I graduated from Weber State in 1984, I moved to Salt Lake City, and I bought myself a white tuxedo jacket for $5 from Deseret Industries in Sugarhouse. The tux jacket went with me when I moved to Virginia, but I have no idea where it finally ended up. I no longer own a tux jacket, but I do have this near-tux, midnight blue formal jacket. I felt it was only right to wear it in this photo, while wearing the dapper penguin Ties/Bow Tie o’ the Day. How nifty would it be, if—like the penguins—our human “birthday suits” looked like tuxes? It would certainly make my constant bow tie habit make more sense to us all. Those penguins are lucky in the fashion department, I tell ya. They’re dressed to party—at the drop of a top-hat. Ooooh, I should get a top-hat next. Ooooh, and maybe some tap shoes.

I Should Have Made A Snowman Note To Myself

Snowman Ties o’ the Day are showing up due to an off-kilter dream I had last night which was full of snow people terrorizing the neighborhood. When I managed to wake myself from my dream, all I could think about was how memorable the post I would write about all the details of my dream would be to y’all. And then I went back to sleep, pleased with myself. When I woke up this morning, however, I couldn’t remember anything about my dream except that it was full of snowmen who were bent on scaring my neighborhood. I couldn’t remember any interesting specifics. Sorry. I’ll make detailed notes in the middle of the night, next time I have a post-worthy dream.
