100 Days of Ties takes the weekend: Day 95. Brunch. Andre. OJ. Graham Withers.
Classing up brunch this weekend with a new Graham Withers bow tie. But keeping with me roots, I still got Andre champagne, which, for my money (and it’s $4/bottle), is the best on the market. Flexinet? Get bent. Also, I … Continue reading

No, I didn’t sleep all that much last night due to innerwebz complications and being more than completely infatuated with “Rookies,” quite possibly one of the best reality programs I’ve ever seen. How did I now know about the lives … Continue reading
100 Days of Ties: Day 88 with Jimmy Eat World, Gant Rugger, and those Gitman Brothers.
To combat, or at least make use of my insomnia, I have decided that getting in a 3-4 mile run before 6AM is a good idea. Not that it really does anything to help me return to slumber, it’s a … Continue reading
100 Days of Ties: Day 87, continuing with the bow ties, Jimmy Buffett and dreaming of boat drinks.
