Saturday Barbershop Style. . .

 

The Young Master gets a trim.  #3 on the sides and back with just enough to part on top.  His request.

Of course, it's not all waxing poetically about suits and sports jackets here at Classic Style.  Sometimes, we must come back down to Earth and take care of more domestic duties.  Such was the case midday today (Saturday), when I shuttled to Young Master to our barber for a trim and clean-up.  I've always assumed the role of barbershop-visit-facilitator since he was very small, but it shouldn't be too many more years before I can toss him the keys, and the Young Master can take himself.  

By the way, we patronize the Williamston Barbershop, a quirky but lively establishment about 10 minutes from the house.  The shop is always busy, filled with music of one kind or another, and bubbling with related chat and laughter.  And then there are the framed movie and band posters that adorn the walls along with stuffed game birds, fish, and deer antlers.  

"Pure Michigan" as stated across the top of many car license plates/tags here.

While those latter three items might not be to everyone's taste, it's still a cool place, and we enjoy our visits about every seven weeks or so.  My next appointment is at the start of June.  Just before that conference in New Orleans.

    WOW -- the Young Master looks like a college kid sitting there; I barely recognize him. I'm curious what his approximate height and shoe size are now!

    But, with all due respect, SEVEN weeks?! That would drive me nuts; I get mine cut every three weeks (and would ideally go every two, but for the expense and hassle).

    About 5' 9" and a size 9 shoe (US).

    Nice. I only asked because his feet look so big in that picture lol.

    As you said, he'll be driving himself to the barber shop before you know it.

All opinions are welcome here. Even those that differ from mine. But let's keep it clean and civil, please.

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
