For someone so low on the prestige ladder, I’ve spent an inordinate amount of time wearing neckties. You think I was running a 1960s ad agency with all the ties I’ve worn.

As soon as can a.) Get them out of storage where they're kept between special occasions, and b.) figure out how to up load a photo to this site, I'll be glad to share 'em!!!

I wear a tie whenever I step outside of my house; frankly, I don't feel dressed without one! Over the years I've amassed a bunch, even a few bow ties (!), ranging in style from the 1920s to the present day, but very few "novelty" ones as you've represented here, fun as they are... They are indeed a "subtle art which belies a whole life philosophy" which is a terrific basis for the bond between father and son. Cool essay!

An excellent Dad! Plus an excellent quote: “...always appear presentable, but underneath, let your freak flag fly.”
