Witty & Wise Ties, Trivia & Lies
Holiday Ties o’ the Day join me in a tippin’ o’ my hat to Dad. Sean Connery stole my dad’s look, you know. Or Dad and 007 were identical twins, separated at birth. When I took Dad on a tour of Washington D.C., he got asked for autographs time after time by those who were sure he was Mr. Connery. He gladly signed his moniker for his fans. Sometimes he’d sign Connery’s name, and sometimes he’d sign his own. His is more valuable to me. 💜
St. Ron, the Bee Man went to the big bee yard in the sky ten years ago, on this day. Tie o’ the Day pays tribute with its trophy bucks, which happen to be wearing bow ties. Bow Tie o’ the Day honors him with its Santa-hatted dogs. Dad told me once that he thought about becoming a History professor. I think he would have excelled in that career. I often saw him in his rocking chair reading volumes from our encyclopedia set. Decent man.
