CW = critiques welcome - always! Starting to switch to baseball tournament mode given that we leave for 5 days starting tomorrow. Better still, my son got an early invite onto the 14U national team for his travel ball group. It made his entire summer.

Coaching my son how to manage his excitement but understand the concern his news can have on others is part of being a father raising a gentleman. Today's outfit has a suit I do not wear enough. I forget how well it fits. There's also a new ancient madder tie from Kirby Allison is a great array of dark colors.
