Wednesday Suit Style. . .

 
The upper half.



 
The now obligatory wrist shot.


 
And the lower half.  Not visible are matching belt and navy socks with a medium blue vertical stripes.


Decided to go with a full suit for this morning's Zoom meeting and office hours, snapping the pictures when everything was finished but before I headed upstairs to change clothes.  Two cats and an unpredictable child, who makes no secret of his  dislike for school in online form, mean that it is probably best to don some harder wearing items that can be laundered easily should unforeseen difficulties arise that require my attention.  Too bad since it was enjoyable wearing this combination of  items for a few hours this morning.

  1. Nice outfit, Heinz-Ulrich. I am besuited as well, today. A taupe wool gabardine 3/2 sack from J. Press, blue and white tab-collar graph check shirt and paisley tie, both from Brooks, and tan, pebble-grain longwings. I am actually in the office today, but still by myself since everyone else is working from home. However, the weather is warming up and my wife and I plan to eat dinner al fresco tonight, our first venture to a restaurant since one warmish day in December.

  2. Why, thank you Charlottesville! I will be eager to get back to campus late next August with the dressing possibilities that will once more bring. For now, the occasional online appearances will have to do, but how nice it feels to have professional clothing on once more.

    Best Regards,

The Power of Ideas. . .

  T he end is nigh!  The autumn semester/term approaches.  And while we still have almost two months of summer left according to the calendar, "Summer is over and gone," as the crickets sang in Charlotte's Web .  At least for those of us who head back to the classroom in less than a month.   In advance of a meeting with my program director late Monday morning, I spent about 40 minutes total during the weekend to jot down several ideas about planned workshops and related activities for the coming 2024-2025 academic year.  At an opportune moment, I mentioned "I have a few ideas," and opened my leather portfolio.   My director was highly receptive to almost everything I suggested, and we had a very productive planning session for just over 90 minutes.  Just about everything I sketched out on Sunday aligns with his own ideas.  It's nice when meetings go that well, and two related things occur to me in hindsight. One, it pays to exercise...

CSA Pick-Up Style. . .

I t's getting to be that time in the summer!  Yep, the garden fresh vegetables are starting to come in.  Picked up the first half-share of the Grand Duchess' Summer 2024 community supported agriculture allotment late yesterday (Thursday) afternoon.  Some delicious looking items that will make a nice salad for dinner this evening.  Meanwhile, the Grand Duchess and Young Master are across Lake Michigan in Wisconsin visiting cousins for the next several days and attending a large annual airshow. while yours truly holds down the fort. More of the usual summertime fare in the attire photos featured.  This particular shirt, while it has not appeared here in quite some time, is one of my favorites.  An item that has been in the seasonal rotation for a dozen years or more.  It ironed up nicely before I put it on and tucked it in.  The chino shorts (with a 6" inseam. . .  I know, I know.) are one of many such khaki pairs currently occupying the bottom...

A Box of Mercer Goodness. . .

    D uring a day already full of pleasant surprises, these arrived via UPS late this afternoon.  About a month before I expected them.  Yes!  Looking very forward to their inaugural wearings in just a few weeks when we're back on campus. -- Heinz-Ulrich
