I have a gala to go to later this month with a 1920’s casino night theme. What would be some of your suggestions? This is the planned outfit. Navy pants and vest with a brownish polka dot tie and brown dress shoes

Good Morning Gentlemen, Fall has arrived! Many of you I’m sure like myself have worked our behinds off all year, between work, family, working in our communities we have met the needs of everyone. Now it’s fall time and you deserve a break today. There is a small window at the beginning of fall and the week before thanksgiving that we can take time for ourselves. Once thanksgiving comes, then it begins the holiday rush, trying to get the house ready for the holidays, get the end of year deadlines at work completed, holiday shopping, church functions, community gatherings, the list seems to go on and on. But this is the time to rejuvenate yourselves, you are of no use to anyone if you are worn down. You have worked hard all year, this is the perfect time to take time for you. Go play a couple rounds of golf while the weather is crips and cool, take bike rides in the evenings, take time to go hiking, fishing, get some reading in, enjoy the fall markets, whatever you find enjoyment in. You need to take this time for you. You spent time making everyone else’s dreams and goals come alive and met for them, now it’s your time for you. We only have a couple of weeks till we move into the beginning of the holiday season and the weather in most places are perfect to get out and enjoy things. Gentlemen, you are not selfish for taking this time for you, actually just the opposite you are taking this time not only for you but for them as well. Because when you are rested and rejuvenated then you can once again give them your best. You are right now operating at 50 or less percent of the capacity in you, even Superman had his fortress of solitude to go to get away, and for you Christian brothers, even Jesus went to pray alone many of times to get away. My point is this gentlemen, whatever you enjoy doing, your hobbies, your favorite things that you enjoy even if its just sitting at home reading some books that you been wanting to get to, or listen to some of your favorite music that you have not listened to in a long time. Take the time now while we have this break. Your family and friends I promise will not only understand but will respect you for it. And who knows they might realize what you have done all year long for them and everyone else and just might make that Christmas present that they wanted to get you just that much more special!
