    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Got a few surprises reactions as I walked into work wearing my new Panama, but so far its holding up to the "drive a golf cart at full speed between the buildings" test. Sent from my moto z3 using Tapatalk

    Post New Hats Here!

    I'm actually lining up a position with another company due to there not being the possibility of a promotion for at least 4 years. And even then it would require the current program manager to retire for me to be able to take his spot. I just think the colors are cool. Sent from my moto z3...

    Post New Hats Here!

    Fresh in from Panamahatmall. The ribbon is kinda loose and I've no experience setting them, but I think it will be fine. I threw an aged gold feather from the charms section of hobby lobby on it to round out the color combination of the company I work for, so I'll be taking it on its first...

    The Man Purse Aka. THE MURSE YES or NO ?

    I rarely carry enough to justify a bag. Usually only my house key, my car key, and my wallet. And if I am carrying more than that, it is usually significantly more, and a shoulder bag isn't sufficient.

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Post office tried to deliver my new Panama yesterday, but I wasn't home to sign for it. I'll be picking it up this afternoon. The anticipation now that it is local is way higher than any point leading up til now.

    Lunch, Anybody?

    The golf course has Mongolian the first week of every month. I think today will be the last time I have it though. It just doesn't seem worth the money for what they give out.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I'm really thinking hard about watching Game of Thrones. I'd watched the first episode or 2 a few years back but never bothered to watch any further. I upgraded my internet package and got HBO as a bonus, so I have access to all of it again. For those that watch/have watched it, will all the...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    While not really a reaction, I do think it's worth pointing out that I've worn a hat so much that my son expects me to always be wearing one. He was mad at me for missing his school awards ceremony when he searched the crowd and didn't see me. He was looking for the guy in the hat and I didn't...

    Lunch, Anybody?

    the new Hot Honey tenders from Popeye's chicken. I won't be ordering them again. They were neither hot, nor sweet. It appeared to me that they had some sort of tabasco/ honey mix that they drizzled over their mild tenders, achieving one of the most unsatisfying chicken tenders I've had in...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    This occurs more often that you would think in other languages as well. I've seen it go horribly, horribly wrong in Spanish. The same word can mean vastly different things depending on which Spanish speaking country you are from and what region in that specific country. I've seen a Dominican and...

    Post New Hats Here!

    Picked this up while I was in Atlanta. I've selected this as my "around the pool" hat. It's 85% polypropylene, 15% polyester. After wearing it around for an afternoon, I decided it didn't breath well enough, so I added some copper eyelets for additional ventilation. Sent from my moto z3 using...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    It just occurred to me that I use an antiquated term that I rarely, if ever, hear anyone else use: Mayhap I will often use mayhap in place of perhaps. I'm not exactly sure where I picked it up, because I can't think of a single person I've heard use it. I googled the word and even...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    Every regional dialect has an equivalent though. The southern accent gets the most hate, but I've had conversations with people from all parts of the country that left me wondering how they survived to adulthood when they can't even string legitimate words together into proper sentences. The...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    The southern accent can sound both aristocratic and uneducated depending on how certain words are emphasized. I've used that to my advantage on multiple occasions, making myself sound disarmingly simple and reverently high-class within a short span, while sounding relatively the same to anyone...

    To beard or not to beard?

    This has been a question on my mind for a while now. I've never had a strong beard. Genetics for that aren't real strong in my family, with my father rarely ever trying to maintain a beard either. Over the past few years I've consistently kept a moustache and goatee, but I've gotten to the...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    I know I still use it quite often, so it had to have been at least a bit popular in the US for me to have picked it up as a child and continue to use it today.

    Lunch, Anybody?

    I had Pancit today for lunch. It's a Filipino rice noodle dish. One of the restaurants on base has it on Tuesdays during lunch.

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    This is the truest statement I've heard in a while. I've looked at and bought hats I never thought I would, and currently have far more than I anticipated. And while my kids are super excited for the sci-fi/anime convention this weekend, I'm far more excited by the fact that there is a hat...

    grandpaw always wore a stetson open road but what can I wear one with?

    Im squarely in the "wear what you want" category these days. I was pretty uptight about what I was supposed to wear with a hat right up until I started wearing them. Once I got comfortable wearing a hat, I realized I didn't really care what I had on when I grabbed my hat, I just liked wearing my...

    The wrist watch.

    I've wanted to add a watch or 2 to my attire for some time now. I'm a bit skittish about it though. I tend to be rough on watches, magically knocking into things I wouldn't have come close to if were I to not be wearing a watch.
