Wow, just wow Michael. What tartan is this? Or does it matter where you live?
I haven't been able to figure out what tartan this is. I don't think it matters around here.

Thanks Jeremy. I think the suit dates to sometime in the '60s. So it's 50 or 60 years newer than the hat.

OK, Micheal! As they say, "You have got it going on today". Clean as the board of health! Love the suit, and you know how I feel about the hat. Great look.
Thanks D. That was some bicycle you posted yesterday. I think I need to find one with a bit more of a retro look. Maybe a Dunelt or something like that.

Thanks all,
Michael

I don't know anything about current technology of bicycles, but this one looks like a Ferrari!

Good enough for Froome, too.

Do tell. White Castle hamburgers?

What he said. Did you really think you could drop something like this here and just walk away? o_O

OK, because you asked, sit back and adjust your hats: the Frunobu-Mom Deathbed Story (TM). In four part harmony...with feelin'

So, yeah, Mom was on her deathbed - literally. She was in hospice, and had been there for an unusually extended period. She still had all her faculties, fortunately, but the emphysema and congestive heart failure were undeniable and we all knew it was coming soon. Don't take my lightheartedness the wrong way, we all had much time to prepare for the inevitable (including Mom) and we were pretty ready.

One day Hospice tells us, "It's time." She was deteriorating and it was starting to happen. She was still in and out of consciousness, but her 77 year-old body was failing. We made the appropriate calls to friends and family, and went to sit with her. After a time, a good portion of family was at Hospice to see her off - Mom was well-loved by everybody. Of course, you get a few of my kin around for any length of time, you've got a party. So we're all sitting around, telling bad jokes and my wife decides she's hungry. So off to WC for a couple sacks of Sliders.

When she returns, Mom has rallied a bit and is fairly conscious, and of course she wants a Slider! My sister starts feeding her one, she gets irritated and says, "Can I just hold the damn thing myself?" Shortly after that, she slipped back into unconsciousness and remained that way. Well, we sat up all night with her, awaiting the inevitable. About 7AM, my sister is sitting next to the bed, my mom is laying there with her head turned to the side. She opens her eyes, looks at my sister, and say, clear as a bell, "Do you think I could get a cup of coffee?"

Mom lasted a couple more weeks after that before she passed. Behold the power of White Castle!

Oh, and I'm wearing a Stetson 3X today, BTW...

Also, because SUNSHINE! And because I miss Matt.
