Day: November 29, 2017

Our sweater-looking Tie o’ the Day depicts a be-sweatered deer drinking beer. My kind of deer! I put down my beer bottles a decade ago. I’d like to say I don’t miss drinking, but I do. I miss it every day, many times a day. The bottles on Tie are red and white, so let’s pretend they’re Diet Cokes. That’s what I guzzle now. But my soda pop burps are not as dramatic as my historic beer burps. Those noises were artistic wonders. 🍺 🎧

Tie o’ the Day is covered in holiday greenery and classic ornaments: Christmas tree balls. I love these classics most of all. And I like balls, in general. Sports balls, of course. And there’s Cinderella’s ball. And cotton balls. And cheese balls. And disco balls. Mom’s favorite balls belonged to our late dachsie, Vincent D’OGnofrio. They amused her to no end. Whenever Vinnie sped by the porch, she’d say, “His balls are so cute!” I should have painted them red and green for her for Christmas.
