    Tony, take a bow I'd like to thank you all who like the hat, but all I did was pay for it. Tony, if you're out there, come on up and take a bow! (That's a bend at the waist, not a tied ribbon.)

    Post New Hats Here!

    From Tumwater on Monday Tony sent me this on Saturday and it arrived on Monday. I don't know what Tony does when he pounces his hats, but they have a great "hand". They are soft, easy to shape, and hold their shape. I now have four.

    Seersucker Suit Question

    Woody Allen, not Rick Blaine For shame! Woody Allen entitled a movie, "Play it again, Sam" But Rick Blaine never uttered those words in Casablanca. The closest he came was "Play it! If she can take it, so can I!"
