If it's Tuesday, then it must be the cafe just off campus for a solo morning work session and online office hours. All caught up with everything and sitting in the latter with Zoom open right now and -- surprise, surprise -- no students banging on the figurative door to complain about grades thus far. And an 11am collaborative work session with a colleague cancelled. What better time to catch up a bit here at Classic Style?
A slightly more casual look overall today with odd jacket, pants, penny loafers, and a knit silk necktie. Given the muted pattern of the jacket, I think a solid shirt would work better, but there we are. Not a bad combo overall however. The socks are a nod to my alma mater the mighty University of Wisconsin-Madison. All things being equal, I wish I were still there.
The years I spent in Madison during the 1990s were an amazing time, and campus, at least the older central part of it, is stunningly beautiful. Especially once the leaves change color in October. The view of downtown from the conference room in my old department on the 13th floor of Van Hise Hall was always a visual treat to behold.
Take a long walk from the Memorial Union on the lakefront out to Picnic Point and back on a Saturday if ever you're in town and enjoy a late lunch-early dinner afterward at one of the independent restaurants along State Street. My favorite Turkish place is, sadly, no longer extant, but there are bound to be a few other non-chain places worth your time for a delicious and less than typical meal.
