365 Days of Bow Ties
Because Bow Ties are…well you know
Day 70 – The Best Bow Tie Ever
Thanks to Angela, I have a bow tie with my family colors (The Burnett Ancient Tartan). I am a little suspect of the idea of an ancient tartan and the modern tartan is shown on the Burnett of Leys website; however, it has been with me many years so it is part of my history.
It was originally a Burnett Tartan Tie; however, Angela had Laura (xoelle.com) take my old moth-eaten tie and create this beautiful bow tie. She did a lot of great work to make this out of a badly damaged tie, so thank you Laura and to Angela for such a kind gift.
Day 69 – Happy Birthday Charles Addams
I always did like Lurch (Ted Cassidy on the 60’s TV show). Thank you Charles Addams for creating the Addams Family.
Day 67 – Bow Ties and Nerds
From: MastersInIt.org
First, thank you MasterInIt.org for the infographic and Geeks are Sexy: Tech, Science, and Social News for sharing this.
So are nerds the ones wearing bow ties as this infographic suggests? Then am I a nerds…perhaps in some ways but with any general categorization of a person, I may have some but not all the traits. Individuals are more than a simple generalization base upon some “norm.” So I will continue to wear my bow ties, read philosophy, enjoy medieval history, and take comfort in that I have good friends that see me as a person not a type.
Day 66 – Winner Twins’ Book in Paris
If you get a chance, pick up on of the Winner Twins’s books which you can find at http://www.StrandTheBook.com/
Until then it is bow ties, a great novel, and of course Paris.
Day 63 – New Year’s 2012
See a list of bow ties wearers from Wikipedia including Winston Churchill.
