Tuesday Morning, April 30

April 30, 2019

1) Back to colors, the black is put away. It’s nice to rediscover parts of my wardrobe that haven’t been worn all winter.

1a) That bow tie is actually called the Dimmick. Back in February an excited friend let me know about it in the catalog, so of course I had to get it. With that blue shirt it’s like being a Howard Johnson’s.

2) I swear I’m the only person on Earth who’s made the connection that World Naked Gardening Day, which always falls on the first Saturday of May, is this year May 4, which is always Star Wars Day. Etiquetteer has some advice, of course. The possibilities are intriguing.

3) This was on my table at lunch yesterday. No idea why, but suspicious.
