Wearing ties hasn’t been a problem, but remembering to snap a picture has proven to be quite the challenge. So, while this blog entry says I’m on Day 14, I missed about a half-dozen days. But I will get through all 44 of my… Continue Reading “Things I’m Doing: 44 Days of Ties (Day 14)”
You would think that I would be embarrassed when a couple coworkers caught me taking a picture in front of our coffee machine for my “44 days of Ties” picture …but I wasn’t. Anyone with a blog, and who Facebook’s and Tweets as much… Continue Reading “Things I’m Doing: 44 Days of Ties (Day 13)”
Just because I’m not blogging about the ties doesn’t mean I’m giving up or not doing it. Here’s three more. The Day 10 tie photo is a little uninspired (remember I said I’d fill the backgrounds with landmarks and interesting things?), but when I… Continue Reading “Things I’m Doing: 44 Days of Ties (Day 10, 11, 12)”
Against the best interest of my breathing and health, today I took my tie to lunch at Duggan’s on Woodward and got a Big Chief Burger, which Detroiters know is a big, double patty burger with an amazing mayo, relish, and curry sauce. It’s… Continue Reading “Things I’m Doing: 44 Days of Ties (Day 9)”
I’m 39. There! I said it. So when “skinny ties” made a comeback, I bought one and ya know what? I felt silly. I felt like an old guy trying to dress like a young guy. It wasn’t working so it was the first… Continue Reading “Things I’m Doing: 44 Days of Ties (Day 8)”

It was a busy day, but not too busy to stop in front of The Barber Pole in Birmingham, MI, where I get my hair cut, and snap a picture of my tie and a landmark. Yet another Express brand tie and Express brand… Continue Reading “Things I’m Doing: 44 Days of Ties (Day 6)”
“44 Days of Ties” rolls on with another shirt-tie combo from Express. I’m thinking I should reach out to them and see if they’ll sponsor my “44 Days of Ties” project. Today’s tie is burgundy with diagonal stripes which, if you look closely, are… Continue Reading “Things I’m Doing: 44 Days of Ties (Day 5)”
Today brings us yet another tie offering from Express. Some will say, “only high-school kids and 20-something, bar-going hipsters get ties from Express,” but I say phooey on that. I buy most of my dress shirts from Express. First, I like their color palette,… Continue Reading “Things I’m Doing: 44 Days of Ties (Day 4)”
You’ll notice there’s been a bit of a hiccup in my Tie-a-Day experiment. Well …that’s because I was on vacation …for a week. And you know who didn’t know I was on vacation? Home invaders and cat burglars, that’s who! Woo hoo! I outsmarted… Continue Reading “Things I’m Doing: 44 Days of Ties (Day 3)”
