what did you get today?

rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain,
rain is good for the ground
rain is good for the farmers
rain is good for the humidity levels
I don't like rain.

(note: this is a textbook example of a form of syllogism called "Josh's logic" after the man who came up with it. Like most logic its form is incomprehensible to all but the educated - making me the tailors of "The Emperors New Clothes" :)

Today is Thursday and I have traveled up to WI in the belief that honoring your job responsibilities is a good thing to do.

But I digress from the real purpose of this post. Two weeks ago I bought a suit. For many guys this is a sentence that would probably cover up weeping and gnashing of teeth. But for me . . . . not so much. The only feeling remotely close to putting on a good suit/tux outfit is performing well. All is right with the world on both of these occasions. My new suit is a beauty: its a super-dark charcoal (very important because: black suits make me look like a vampire, and blue suits tend to be ugly) with a grey-green pinstripe. Its 100% wool - really the only fabric acceptable in a good suit. I got the jacket tailored to make it hang right and the coat is cut longer (almost a lounge coat - but not quite). I also bought a beautiful shirt and several ties to accompany the suit. Also, because the place I bought it from was going out of business I was able to get it for half price (it was still the most expensive outfit I've ever purchased). Anyway, I picked it up today and its better than ever. I can't wait to wear it.

Anyway, enough about me for today. peace and love
