Recently, some people have scolded me for this “44 Days of Ties” experiment and pointed out, hey, you aren’t actually wearing ties for 44 days in a row. Guilty. I had high hopes that I could do that, but turns out, with the varying… Continue Reading “Things I’m Doing: 44 Days of Ties (Day 18)”
In honor of the presidential election I’m wearing what I call my “campaign tie”. Red, white, and blue. This one, in all honesty, might actually be a little too wild for even a presidential candidate to wear. It’s by J.S. Blank & Co., which… Continue Reading “Things I’m Doing: 44 Days of Ties (Day 17)”
Here’s an interesting tie. It says it’s from Neiman Marcus, and I don’t shop there. I don’t even have the guts to say, “I got this tie at Neiman’s” as if I’m too cool to say “Marcus.” However, my wife tells me she’s “awesome”… Continue Reading “Things I’m Doing: 44 Days of Ties (Day 15)”
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)”

It’s… Continue Reading “Things I’m Doing: 44 Days of Ties (Day 9)”

You’ve heard of “mental floss” …well, consider this (and my “44 Days of Ties” project) “writing floss.” Or, call it the “writer plunger” or “blog Draino” or whatever term you’d use to describe a task that’s just a warm-up for other stuff you have… Continue Reading “Things I’m Doing: 44 Days of Ties (Day 7)”
“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)”
