Podcast Tuesday Style. . .

Tuesday saw me at home looking after the Grand Duchess, who is now almost three weeks into her post-foot surgery recovery. She gets around alright on her crutches, and is back at work via Zoom meetings of one kind or another. No different than the previous three years have largely been since Covid exploded in March 2020. But she need help getting meals, showering, dressing, going up- or downstairs and the like. So, yours truly has been home most of the week too.

Tuesday saw me recording and producing another 7-minute podcast episode for my students, Episode 68 thank you very much, which I embed in the various online course modules I have designed within our learning management system. I've been teaching hybrid courses this year, and these meet once a week, but most of the collaborative work students do remains online (primary and secondary course materials, project packets, and other assorted "tools").

In any case, no reason to resemble a walking dirty laundry hamper just because I'm at home though, hence the attire pictured above. Familiar, comfortable, and warm. Plus, I won't embarrass myself if I must answer the front door or venture down the street for a gallon of milk.

The Grand Duchess likes her 2%, you know.

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 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
