I'm BACK!! and it's MONDAY!!! 👏 After taking my family away for a nice family trip it is still really nice to get back into my routine! I miss my Working Monday's they are always busy and get my juices going for the week! Hope you all have an amazing Monday!!

I have been looking for a proper hat for a LONG time. When I was 19 I had bought a Fedora from a hatter in NYC, sadly it got lost in a fire and I had never got another. I would walk into stores and try stuff on and they just didn't sit right. All the real hatters in NYC are gone 😢 at least the ones I have been able to find. I have been wanting a Panama hat to help keep me out of the sun during the summer. As a melanoma survivor this is even more important to me. While we were on a family vacation last week I found a store in Italy that sold Borsalino's and Marone's and they help me size and fit the hat. My wife and kids loved the look and I think it fit really well. I'd love your honest feedback. I will be going to England next month and am planning on visiting Locke & Co a 350yr Hat Store and am hoping to get another felt fedora or something similar. Just to reinforce what @Antonio Centeno says getting a hat that fits and the support of your family while you are wearing it makes the whole process much easier!!

That was the subject last night of one of Coach Saban's best takes ever. While he was talking about the mindset of his players, Coach Saban taught us all a lesson on a Wednesday night. Said the coach: "You get up every day, and you're entitled to... nothing. Nobody owes you... nothing. You can have talent, but if you don't have discipline and you don't execute and you don't focus, what do you get? Nothing. "If you're complacent and not paying attention to detail, what does that get you? Nothing. So, nothing is acceptable but your best." That, my friend, is an awesome message. So, let's have a great day and give it only our best. Because the lecture on The Importance Of Nothing is something we can all learn from.

Of kids that is. The little brothers and sisters of my son’s friends are starting to find spouses. So the season of weddings has commenced. For a quarter of a century we have stayed friends with the parents of what once were our pre school era friends. Even my business partner and I met through this group (pic two after video). Grabbed my go to navy herringbone 1995 MTM suit, white shirt and two bar bow tie (that liked to move around on me ). Stuck with a classic white model 5 Seiko. It’s so exciting to catch up with all these young adults who have become very successful productive kids. Over a third are young Doctors and parents themselves.
