4月30日 Catching Up #529 - 536 OK, this is going to be a big entry, so sit back and relax.
The first two ties (above) have dates, the bowtie on the right (Robert Talbot, silk) being a paisley, to continue a Lenten paisley theme. It happened to be the tie with which I neatly tied up with a bow (rhymes with low) not with a bow (rhymes with how) a segment of my life in which I got obsessed with ties. The tie on the left is, of course, from Countess Mara (with a very distinct monogram on this one, also with a store label for "The Union"). What better way to begin a new segment of my life? I wore this to a job interview, on a Sunday evening. As if that isn't odd enough, when I arrived for my "interview," I was given some work to get started on. Surely that was the most unusual job interview I have ever had.
After that first day, I have been wearing ties, of course, but I have not been keeping up with the dates, so I am simply assigning the rest of these catch-up ties numbers in the ongoing sequence. The picture on the right shows two pleasant floral ties with good labels. #531 is a luscious cotton print (Tango by Max Raab, USA), and #532 is a silk tie (Boss | Hugo Boss, Italy).
#533 is another almost creamy, certainly dreamy cotton floral print (Tango by Max Raab, USA). If you read the parenthetical remarks, you may wonder why I didn't put the two Tango by Max Raab ties together. Simply, with two such great ties, why not stretch my comments over two pictures... and make an emphatic comment like this? #534 is a silk floral, with a more expansive print (Deco-Mode, US).
#535 (Daniel de Fasson | Designers in Motion Miami, Korea) and #536 (Carlos DeVenizia| Roma Barcelona, China) are silk ties with Asian origins and bold prints that are fun to wear.
Speaking of fun to wear, how about these two? #537 is a silk print with a travel theme (JT Beckett, USA). #538 has special significance for me, since it shows, according to an imprint, "Tyrannosaurus Rex | Cretaceous Period." Since dinosaurs paid my rent for six years, I take them very seriously, and I really like this stunning black and white image (Nature's Museum Collection, silk, USA). In fact, I'm still writing about "How Do Dinosaurs Get Their Names" and "What People Want to Know About Dinosaurs."
Dinosaurs are a good way to deal with the past. Now, back to the present... a present, by the way, in which I work at home on some days. I've debated wearing ties those days (remember, you are at work), but so far, I haven't.

I've been wearing ties again for a couple of weeks, so I shall have to play catch-up, but I wanted an extremely special tie to jump-start this blog (as if it really needs much jump-starting after yesterday's musical number). Today, I began things again with a lovely handmade silk tie from "Kai Long." The design, according to my dear Dharma friend Cheryl, who gave it to me, is an old Buddhist prayer. Let us hope. Continuing the Buddhist theme, I'll wear a Thai silk tie from "Channiti." The Buddhist connection has nothing to do with the design but rather with the Buddhist country of origin.

I've been wearing neckties again for a couple of weeks, but it will be a while before I can get back to blogging. Here is a wonderful video from a group called Young@Heart which sums up my feelings...
