Glen Plaid Monday in December. . .

Monday. Tired. And delaying real work on this dark December morning in the library with yet another post on attire.

A not unpleasant combination of items, built around a wool flannel Pal Zileri jacket and wool flannel Oxxford pants. Every bit as comfortable as pajamas. But pressed and better looking.

Relistening to the latest episode of my podcast too, which was recorded, edited, produced, and uploaded this weekend. And it's not bad.

I began podcasting last summer to further support my students each semester and, in effect, make myself available to them 24/7 via the online learning management system we use here at MSU.

Instructor presence, I think they call it. But some students, at least, seem to be listening to these. Who woulda thunk it? See what you think at WSTKS-FM: Digital Collaborative Learning for the 21st Century.

Ok, enough shameless twaddle. Time to get something real accomplished before class at 10:20am and meetings after that.

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.

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 attire any time you head into the

"If you see something you want. . ."

The above photograph has been "borrowed" from the J. Press website. "I f you see something you want," advised my late mother, "buy it. It won't be there when you go back later." A favorite (and wise) adage hers that I still follow whenever possible. So when this item appeared on clearance at J. Press, I mulled it over for a couple of days, and then clicked the requisite boxes to make the online purchase. Should be here within the week. Once upon a time, I had a similar jacket by Corbin that I foolishly purged before we left Central Illinois ('Illi-noir' anyone?) for Michigan almost 10 years ago. Not sure what I was thinking at the time since I did like the item and wore it routinely. This one will be a bit nicer and help me make sartorial amends. At least to myself. -- Heinz-Ulrich
