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.

This title won out over "Do Your Clothes Match Your Persona?". As I dress for the day, or the event I try to imagine what I would look like to someone else as I'm wearing the clothes I choose. Do the clothes I pick match my personality and life? Or do I look like a left-over Miami Vice cast member? (Nothing against Miami Vice!) It brings me back to a car sales position many years ago. I had moved to Seattle and that afternoon had a sales job at Downtown Oldsmobile. I had no business clothes so I went to a local thrift store ran by a hospital where the docs would donate their clothes. I hooked a couple of sport coats and slacks for little money, I was set. While at the dealership the owner's son befriended me. He was just 16 and a great, clean cut kid. One day we had a maintenance job so I showed up in my old ratty jeans and a t-shirt. The kid acted confused and quiet around. Finally he quietly said he liked me better in my suit. I looked like just another person off the street in my grubbies. In my sport coat I was presentable, honest, and trustworthy - my true personality and what I strive for. He was seeing a fake me and his honesty shown brightly through. So now every time I question whether to dress up even a little, or slob it out I remember that kid, and his point-on lesson of what clothes fit my personality. A simple but heart felt comment I will never forget.
