New Eyeglasses Style. . .

 

Sporting new specs and almost 20 pound of weight loss since the end of September.  Everything fits better!

 

Very few selfie photos here lately of yours truly, but after snapping a quick photograph of my new glasses to share with my sister and step-father, our son, The Young Master, suggested I share one here too.  

No tailored clothing today I'm afraid.  Classes for the semester ended last Friday, and I've taught asynchronous online from home since late August anyway, suiting up only for twice weekly office hours and brief weekly videos.  

The attire shown above is pretty standard at home wear for the colder months, which is to say a tucked in flannel shirt (or rugby jersey), corduroy jeans (a rather orange-cinnamon-nutmeg shade today), chocolate suede camp moccasins sans socks, and a surcingle belt.  

Casual and comfortable without straying into slob territory.  Hey, what if I must answer the door, walk to the mailbox, or pick up a gallon of milk at the super market? 

Oh, yes.  The large table in the background with The Young Master will shortly be turned into a rural North German landscape complete with low hills, woods, and a village or two for a planned game of toy soldiers between The Young Master and me on Boxing Day, a day I have dubbed Toy Soldiermas.  Good times ahead for the two of us.

    Congratulations on the new specs, which look rather professorial, and the loss of 20 pounds. What was your weight loss regimen ?

    I see that someone is photo bombing your selfie. LOL

    Thanks, Jim! 1300-1800 calories a day, but no more. Keeping careful track of portions consumed, and measuring everything out when possible. Daily digital weigh-ins post-shower. Very few 'cheat days' and 45-60 minutes of walking daily unless it was raining. Sadly, the almost constant hungry feeling has yet to disappear.

    Skinny Regards,

    Yes, and he thought it was hysterically funny when he saw the end result. Quite a sense of humor though not always at the appropriate times or places.

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

Mid-November Monday. . .

A few minutes between classes this morning, so I snapped  pictures of today's attire and accessories.  The first wearing this season of the Optimo 'Dearborn' fedora, and the tie is a vintage number from Orvis, a nod to my late father's fly-fishing and fly-tying hobbies.  It's been two or three years since this particular necktie's last appearance, so high time to pull it out and knot it carefully around the ol' neck.  Managed to nail it on the first attempt too.  Could this be the start of a trend? -- Heinz-Ulrich

The Problem of "Business Casual" Attire. . .

This is how it's done.  Business Casual the RIGHT way, ladies and gentlemen.  Even during the summer months.  A photograph (taken by Studio B Portraits ) which appeared in 425 Business Magazine in May 2017.   T his post on the problem of business casual dress began as a quick postscript to a previous blog entry last week but quickly grew and grew as additional thoughts occurred, were developed in more detail, and revisions made.  So much so, that it seemed, eventually, like a better idea to make the initial P.S. afterthought into its own entry .  Are ya ready, Freddy?  Then, here we go. . .  ------------ U nless you actually plan to sell beach snacks and trinkets on Cozumel, become a serial barista, or greet customers at a fancy nightclub after taking out huge student loans to attend university somewhere for four or five years, plus an MBA afterward, it's really a better idea to err on the side of (somewhat) more formal work at...

Friday on Campus Style. . .

S omewhat atypically, I was on campus for several hours today helping with an interview that is part of a larger documentary project on which a colleague and I are working.  Although I am behind the camera (I'm the audio guy in fact), what better reason does one need to dress presentably?  Exactly.   Everything worn, barring the recently purchased University of Wisconsin socks, a gift from the Grand Duchess, has been in the rotation for a while now.  And, of course, there was the Panama hat, which I'll wear until we pass October 1st when the felt fedoras reappear. -- Heinz-Ulrich
