Day off to go run chores in Phoenix. Denim, t-shirt, AE shoes, ancient Serengeti sunglasses.

Diners heading to their nearest Ruth’s Chris Steak House may want to think twice before topping off their outfit with a baseball cap. The upscale steakhouse chain is reminding guests that its dining rooms maintain a “business casual” dress code — and that hats are not allowed at the table. https://people.com/ruth-s-chris-steak-house-says-proper-attire-required-in-dress-code-notice-11925810

An older friend passed away recently and his visitation was tonight. ID was a full time farmer and part time business man. His obituary described him perfectly; he was a gentleman’s gentleman. Therefore I decided to wear my suit, although I expected to be one of very few (if any) dressed to that level. It is a rural area, so mostly only the older folks dress up. Glen Plaid suit by Paul Betenly-charcoal colored Light blue dress shirt-David Donahue Tie-Blue Foulard silk from The Dark Knot (Thanks, @Antonio O. Centeno !) Shoes- Allen Edmond burgundy wingtip brogues (Thanks, eBay) Belt-Anson burgundy Socks- dark blue Calvin Klein Pocket Square- dark blue, no pattern I’d like the coat to be cut an inch longer, and my pants need to be re-pressed…they drape oddly at the bottom. Otherwise, I think I’m good to go! Accompanied, of course by my wife of 44 years, Cindy.

Just got done with a hair cut at the boardroom. And I love this.

We grabbed a quick photo as we left this evening’s fish fry at The Shamrock Club Once again this week I put together an outfit based on a sweater, this one has a brown block pattern on it. With it I am wearing a brown cap and red bow tie. As we are about to leave I have my blue jacket on.
