    Formal Wear Primer

    I thought that a nosegay is the flower(s) itself. I am talking about the silver-colored cone, about 2 inches long and about a half inch in diameter at the wide end, that the flower is put into.

    Suggest a replacement for Williams Mug Shaving Soap? I have used Williams shaving soap for years (well, actually decades). It worked fine, was reasonably priced, and didn't have a perfume smell. A few years ago the local drugstore chain quit carrying it, so I started ordering it online (half...

    Post New Hats Here!

    Not my hat, but I saw a bike rider today with a safari-brim attachment on his bike helmet. I thought it was unique and worth sharing. This is an image from Pinterest that looks like what I am trying to describe.

    How to travel with hats

    I thought I did a good job of not staring. However, outside of the context of how to travel with two hats, I thought it unusual. At a bare minimum, I probably would have carried the second hat in my hand after I got off the plane.

    How to travel with hats

    On a recent flight to Atlanta I noticed a gentleman with two hats - one on top of the other. I believe he wore them for the entire flight, and I saw him wearing the "double hat" after we got off of the plane. I guess that is a way to travel with more than one hat.

    You know you are getting old when:

    In my earlier years while teaching at a University, I would occasionally work in the comment: "circles and arrows with a paragraph on the back of each one" I finally quit when one of the students recognized it and told me his dad used to play that album.

    Yes, the lips are usually closed in the casket, so why bother after a certain age.

    Also interesting seeing people who are now in their late 50's or early 60's and are currently wearing braces. At least the industry has come up with those "almost invisible" braces.

    What are you snacking on?

    Great pictures! As for snacking, I am just about finished with the pumpkin seeds from Halloween pumpkins. Blanched in saltwater and then roasted with butter and black pepper. I eat the hulls and all.

    You need to buy more/better quality sparkling wine for the put-up and take-down events. Enough good sparkling wine can make almost any job turn into a party.
