What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Tukwila]

This is weird. Bob was a friend on FB and he (or someone, in his place) was posting until April 29th. Yet the notice says he passed on March 18th. In any event, I'll sure miss him here.

I'll put on a black hat today for ole Bob.

I'll be wearing a black hat and raising a toast to Bob later today.

To RJR:
No matter the crowns you wore here on earth, be it your lovely Borsalinos, your CDs or your berets and trilbys, none compare to your new Crown we can’t see yet know it’s beyond any we will ever see here. Bespoke and beyond, one day we each will will show you ours.
Until then Bob, enjoy it for us and bless you RJR.
B

Thank you for sharing this. My heart goes out to his family. If any of them happen to read this, I hope they know that Bob was a beloved member of this lounge and will truly be missed. I know I will personally miss seeing his Indy inspired hats. Rest peacefully Bob.

WTH!!! Are you serious!? That can't be right! That's a real shock. I'm going to miss his posts.

To you dear friend across the pond:
May you rest in peace.
If I Should Die Before the Rest of you

If I should die before the rest of you
Break not a flower nor inscribe a stone
Nor, when I’m gone, speak in a Sunday voice,
But be the usual selves that I have known.
Weep if you must
Parting is hell.
But life goes on.
So sing as well.

Yesterday was nice enough for the Borsalino Ludoela in Ghiaccio.

I'd never seen a full picture of you before, Stefan. Now for a real hatless! I haven't given up!

Just like Bob's pics, Brent. Black hat, too.
Good idea.

Tall, svelte, well-dressed, and debonair. Not fair, is it? At least he’s mean and a complete jerk.

Greetings All:
Today....i’ve been reflecting on several things. Moms, gone and present. Children, blessings beyond words. The passing of friends from long ago and newfound, such as here in the Lounge Family.
Things left unsaid and undone.

Why do i have hats i don’t wear because i feel they are too valuable, rare or pristine.

Special occasion hats where the special occasion never comes. Then the bell rings all to soon and they are just hats in a box.
So, to that, today...one i wouldn’t wear but today i will so as not to go hoarded and unappreciated before the bell rings closer to home.
A Berteil of Paris, in very dark blue, where G. Borsalino learned his trade as a young man. An exquisite example on all fronts, old and grand.
I hope Bob (RJR) would give it a +1.
Be well. Bowen
