Lovely Borsalino and very nice chore coat Lefty. Nice to see you around here again.

Beautiful photos Alan.


From Yestereday: Hat People full cut cap
WP_20141227_014.jpg


Yesterday after this photo was taken by my oldest daughter I headed out with her for a Costco run. We turned on the radio and began singing along at full volume to Men At Work's song Down Under. I remember belting out at full volume "He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich!" The sun was dropping in our faces. The air blasting through my broken and un-closable drivers side window was cool but not cold. The seat dry for a change as it hadn't rained in a few days. The kids were on the uptick after going through 105 high fevers on Christmas night with the afternoon of the day after Christmas spent hanging with my 1 year old son Rex in the ER. All was right and good.

Just wanted to share that moment. As I've grown older I've felt moments like that less and less. Possibly due to spending so much time in a windowless office where I rarely see sunlight. There's something great about just getting out and doing something. That twilight moment when the sun is on it's way down is something I really like but rarely get to see.

A vivid story Sam... thanks for taking the time to write it down and share it. Great moments are too brief, like the short days of winter when the low sun can shed light on the underside of Jeff's Borsalino brim.

A joyous solstice greeting to you all, happy trails in 2015.

Wonderful narrative, Sam. Thanks for sharing, as we're happy to be here to enjoy it with you. That fortune cookie bears repeating, "shared sorrow is half sorrow; shared joy is double joy." Sweet full cut cap, too!

I've been out of the loop, but the photos of the last couple of days have been wholly fantastic and wonderfully stylized. Alan's study in yellow; Jeff, Beneath the Beautious Borsa; and Lefty, who is always just slightly ahead of the crowd, or avant garde, and always with a magnificent lid has been up all night (many nights!) growing that impressive beard! All good guys, guys (and gals)!

Great to see the boys lookin' sharp and enjoying time with grandpa. I trust you guys enjoyed the holiday.

Great hats the last few. I have peaked in time to time.

Sam I know exactly what you mean about those moments being fewer. Sometimes life gets overwhelmed by just living. Grab it when you can.

Hope all enjoyed the holidays and are headed for a safe and prosperous new year.

Good stuff today guys!

Sam, good news that your kids are getting better
Garrett - love that old Stetson
Che - you and the gang look great as always
Matt - nice to see you around

Christmas wasn't kind to our family this year, but we did get out to spend a little time in Portsmouth, NH today. I had my Black Cherry Penman

Great pics over the holiday weekend everyone.

Che, the shots of you and the kids are fantastic.

David, I hope the trouble moves on and gives you some peace.

Back to the office today. Royal Stetson in caribou.

Nice one S-4-C. That shirt will be great for Mardis Gras with a gold tie instead of a silver one!

DJH great hat and photo. Sorry to hear about Christmas. Wishing you and yours a better New Year, and hoping Christmas time isn't darkened from now on.

Historyteach, good to hear from you, and a big CONGRATULATIONS on the new addition to you family!
