You look your usual spiffy self and about the cloth; where can you spend eighty quid and turn in into something priceless with a scissors, a needle and some thread?

Where, Stefan? In the lady's cabin, all the magic happens in there. Lengths of fabric go in, made to measure garments come out, it never ceases to amaze me.

While I expect to see the animals walk by in two's and apparently missed an invitation to join someone on a boat they've built, these are the hats of this week (which may the last due to biblical flooding).

I usually get winter depression. This year, I have a summer one. Thankfully, Stefan, your hats of the week have cheered me up despite the rain drops and raincoat.

Love them all, especially the Mossant. The Herbert Johnson is in a league of its own.

Thinking of you Steve, my wife once told me that those who suffer seasonal depression are not malingering. She spent thirty years as a paramedic in the ambulance service, she told me of some extreme seasonal depression cases. Mercifully, not something that I have experienced.

Thank you, Robert.

You know it's bad when you have to turn on the light in July already.

Well, there you go. A small price to pay.

Thanks, Brent. I don't mind a bit of rain, but turns out you can in fact have too much of a good thing! That doesn't go for hats of course;)

Thank you, Steve. From what I've seen we're in this together. Things are supposed to improve this coming week though. Fingers crossed.

Well, in that case Stefan, next time The Hat Lady walks by, please latch onto her and get in line behind the animals.
We’ll need you two to start us of right this time.

Ps: take the Caxton and your best Berteil please.
Thanks, Bowen. We could have a problem finding a mountain to land the boat on; our country isn't known for its wide variety of mountains.

Love the leopard skin pattern on the Habig. Just the kind of thing Etsuko’s been looking for!

That hat sets off the suit and tie perfectly, I love the open weave pattern.

My wife, Tina, had a surprise for me this morning. The weather has not been that agreeable for straw hats, but when this morning brought sunshine with it, my lady requested that I wear my Gamboa Panama. I did as she had asked, that's when she presented my surprise.

She has made me a new pair of trousers to replace the ones damaged at the dry cleaners. I knew that said trousers were in the pipeline but other than a fitting I hadn't seen them. "I love that hat," she told me, "my new trousers compliment it perfectly," I replied.

The trousers and hat combination work so well that I could take the Aloha shirt off and still the two would look the part.

But being old with an old man's belly, I will put the shirt back on.

Traveling & performing do you ever run into Brûlé much? I know they have played at Outlaw Square some, & back in the day they would play here at the annual Indian Marketplace.

I guess I got Sturges on my brain knowing the crowd will be growing this wk.
I’m sure it’s a big crowd as usual— typically for the entire month, even though the rally dates might be just a couple weeks.
I do run into Brûlée— they play a lot in this region. In fact they did a Christmas show (!) with the Sioux City Symphony, in which I also play, last year, but I had a better gig locally so chose to opt out of that one. They have a pretty massive following, it seems.
