Off to KC for a couple days of training. As you can tell the enthusiasm is rampant within me, I know it’s lost in the digital world. The shirt, Ben Sherman The jeans, Daniel Cremieux The boots, Durango The Rebel The scent, CDN Urban Man Elixir The watch, Citizen The hair, by me Make it a good day.

My hat predates wearing my kilt. It is a constant reminder in my office of the shenanigans Tim and I have been involved with together for over two decades. My buddy Tim is facing the biggest challenge of his life. His chronic lukemia has shifted into full blown accrute lymphoma and he is receiving chemo while simultaneously battling a serious infection in his lower leg now the size of a small tree trunk (the sepsis is gone but leg is still a problem.) My wife calls Tim my band wife. After 21 years of Timmy O’Brian’s Celtic Cheer we “share joint custody” of our two 26 year old sons who have been in the band now for over 10 years. The boys were like brothers on our various family vacations. I sent a message out to the rest of the band for prayers for Timmy and if you are so inclined I would appreciate any one else to do the same. Timmy is an anomoly. His photographic memory makes him quite formidable as the public defender. While he has tipped the scales in the 400lb range for quite some time he was quite the athlete in his prime receiving a football scholarship to the Univ of Central Oklahoma and an offer for a scholarship to play basketball at Dartmouth. ( I harassed him for choosing UCO but respect the fact the stadium is named after his great grandfather and he wanted to play there his whole life). He is a super nerd/jock and knows every comic book character since the dawn of comic books as well as every horror movie character even every cowboy character in every tv western and movie. Simultaneously he can spout endless sports trivia. And don’t get me started with everything historic especially regarding Celtic stuff. get well soon buddy I love you pal.

Here's something I've wondered about. What is your work environment? How does the atmosphere you're in and/or the work you do affect how you dress? When many people hear "dress well," they automatically think "dress up," which means a suit. However, that's not the case. For @Brian McGuire , wearing a suit can be an important part of the image he needs to send to his clients. For @Richard Pollock , wearing a suit not only wouldn't make sense, it could be unsafe. But there's no doubt he dresses WELL every day. For some of us, the atmosphere we're in affects how we present ourselves. For me, a well fitted OCBD and chinos, paired with well polished shoes, still has me a step above (at least) many of the people around me in the office. For me, that's good enough. Wearing a suit would be nice, but I would stick out like a sore thumb. What's your environment and how do you fit in, yet stand out?
