Two for last week; none for the present, since I didn't teach today.

Wednesday of last week. (It's a long story.)


Today.

I didn't realize I had concatenated polka dot ties until I went to post these photos.

Good for me!

Another donation from Daniel Grimm, worn Thursday the 20th to equal parts acclaim and horror.

Fresh, exciting, and new.
