Suite Suit


When did all my suits become double breasted? Have I not been wearing suits all the time for the past 8 years? When was the last time I wore a suit? When was the last time you saw someone sporting one? Am I not a fashion maven I purport my self to be?

Going through my closet this evening produces my go-to suit (which I look fabulous in...). But also an alarmingly high number of double-breasted brethren. Each one like a mini-history lesson: There is Mr. Grey Pinstripe, I was going to get a job doing macro economic assements (aka: guessing). Turns out not a big demand.

There is Mr. Blue Pinstripe, he's the one I weathered through the suspenders fad. I can only shake my head and ask what were we thinking?... I recall the happy occasions, weddings, bar-mitzvahs and GLA meetings (Good Looking Anonymous...).

There is the, "hey, Mel, what do you think of this suit?" from Worcester Outlets. Wore through in like 3 wearings. Sad, very sad, cause it looked so good on... Ok, maybe it is not so much me looking good as it is feeling good.

Then again, it is said it st is not how you feel, but how you look. And I look marvelous...

todays survey

Since you all have done so well with the past two surveys I've taken ( another shirt slogan for Dad and do you get full eating salad or just bored ), here is another: If you eat, say, a bag full of fortune cookies - and I am not saying I have - do they all come true or just a first/last rule? Do they all negate if you eat more than one? Anyone? Bueller?

And now we are One!!!!

Who would have thought: you would keep reading after day 3? I would keep writing after day 2? (see http://robertwmason.blogspot.com/ for reference) that you would get anything out of this? that I would get anything out of this? that I would make 250 posts into this thing..? And "get" I did. Last month, I signed my first contract for a writing position (in my free time) with a Rhode Island magazine. I used many excerpts from my blog as samples and they dug it, enough to want to pay me. I am very excited about that. A big thank you to all of you that keep reading that misadventures of my family, friends and I. The journey thus far has been fun and giving you a bird-eye view into our lives is weirdly fun. At first it was like walking around naked, now I am a full fledged nudist; so to speak. In looking back over the first year, I live like a king. Sometimes all it takes is a bit of reflection to see how good you've got it. Usually this hits me on business trips and ...

How I'll probably die

My new thing has gotten me running, yes running, the past week without complaint and without watching the clock. Unfortunately, the high-risk fringe sport will probably have Ian find me at the end of the treadmill runway, twisted, with a guitar slung from my neck. What is it you ask? Some kind of Mariachi Marathon? Close. Running while playing Guitar Hero is the greatest thing since running with my buddy Jeff. Come to think of it, that really was just running with someone calling you, "fatty" the whole time, but I digress. Running while jamming on guitar trying desperately to keep up with great hits like "American Women" and the surprisingly fitting, "Band on the run". See what I did there? Anyhow, it is freaking amazing. No longer are my eyes glued to the maddening clock. No longer am looking at data (which I seem to hate when it is counting my exercise), I am playing a game. I am a Rock God when I run. Now, I know what you are thinking. Being a...
