Greetings from Tie o’ the Day #1. We are bolo-ing today. A string tie always pleases the eye. This one in particular creates a bigly suave-itality, coupled as it is with this Levi’s California shirt. Dig the white/bright white horizontal stripes. And I like the white snaps that finish off the ensuing snappiness of this ‘fit.
The roadrunner depicted on the bolo brings to mind an early Rowan anecdote (not “antidote”, as many mistakenly say). When he was learning the art of telling jokes, he and I were throwing jokes back and forth to amuse each other, and he came up with this gem: “Why did the chicken cross the road?” “To get hit by a school bus!” That was funny and odd enough, but he continued with further chicken-crossing-the-road jokes. Each time the answer was the same, but with various creatures substituted for the chicken. Parakeets, skunks, porcupines, etc. Rowan has an extremely sensitive soul, so I didn’t worry about his somewhat morbid jokes. But I certainly recall what a great time we had laughing our gutty guts out that day.
Oh, the nostalgia we work ourselves into about when our kids were young and learning to navigate the world. (As if we all don’t have to keep learning to navigate this world. 😲😱)
