Saturday Apres XC Skiing Style. . .

Not particularly stylish, but tired, happy, and relaxed after a day of cross-country skiing in the woods and highlands of the Hanson Hills winter recreation area in Northern Michigan.

A wonderful post-ski euphoria you could say -- complete with a thermos of hot chocolate, oranges, cookies, and chocolate -- before we headed back to our weekend rental house for showers, dinner, and hot-buttered rum by the hearth once the Young Master had retired. I could do this everyday.

Up early Sunday to load the car and head to another nearby Nordic center for lessons and a few hours of skiing before heading home mid-afternoon Sunday. The car was all unloaded and everything stowed by just after 5pm, and we finished the second half of the tuna casserole for dinner an hour or so later following showers.

Again, nothing particularly special about the meal, but it sure hits the spot after physical activity in the winter.

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

Tan Suit Tuesday. . .

W hile it's now after Labor Day here in the U.S,. we still have almost three weeks left of summer according to the calendar. And since today was bright, sunny, and pleasantly warm (though far from hot), it seemed like a perfect opportunity to trot out my tan cotton suit and tan loafers/belt. Slightly disheveled, yes. And the shoes need some Renovateur to moisten 'em up But not a bad overall look if I might be so bold. -- Heinz-Ulrich
