Never Out Of (Or In) Style: I add the following link with little comment, mainly an excerpt:
This means adopting pieces that can be downright nerdy on almost everyone else, but transforming it with confidence and a good eye to make a bow tie the hippest thing around.
It's all about the attitude, my friends. As further evidence, I site the following . . .
The Man's Got Nothing Left To Prove: The Wisconsin State Journal has this article about Thor Pettersen, a 93 year old "chick magnet."
While others wear T-shirts, Pettersen sports a bow tie and cardigan. He likes to feel dressed up, he said. He wore the same outfit during his career as an engineer with the Allis-Chalmers Manufacturing Company.
What a great story. I want to meet Mr. Pettersen some day.
Unlikely Outcome: So long as we're not talking business today, I want to speak up for the Men's National (Soccer) Team (who desperately need a nickname). Our boys are currently competing in South Africa (home of next year's World Cup) in a tournament called the Confederations Cup.
Group play came first, and the men found themselves in a group with Italy (reigning World Cup champions), Brazil (reigning Confederations Cup champions, and the most successful soccer nation in the history of the game), and Egypt (African champions). Pretty tough draw. They played Italy first and lost 3-1. They played Brazil next and lost 3-0, and looked downright terrible doing so. Yesterday they had to beat Egypt by at least 3 goals and Brazil had to beat Italy by at least 3 goals in order for the USA to advance out of the group stage into the knockout stage. The planets alligned, and both of those things happened! It was incredible!
So now the men move on to play Spain (defending European champions, and number one ranked team in the world right now) on Wednesday afternoon. The winner of that game advances to the championship game on Sunday against either Brazil or South Africa. Yesterday was the most fun I've had as an American soccer fan in a good long while.
