What Hat Are You Wearing Today?

[alanfgag]

Right on Ale. Here are some additional pictures of it... very similar to Jeff's new hat with less taper to the crown. The brim is 2 3/4.

I'm not sure... I rent a garage at this house down the street. I do know that the tree behind me is the largest on our street, an old oak that probably predates the first development of houses on the block (1880ish).

I see. Thanks just the same. I love big trees. As you know, giant oaks are very common in my neck of the woods. Wonderful trees.

Nice ones Robert, OG and Alan. I love that Dove VS Eric.

Thanks for the Casablanca comments, Perry and Eric.

Eric, my jacket came from your part of the World, from Superior Flight Apparel - Mark is a member here, fishmeok is his user name. Nice Lee and VS for you today.

JtL, Robert - great Stetsons guys!

Alan, Jeff - super Borsalinos!

OG - can't beat a nice VS.

When Rhubarb (full name Bebop-A-Rebop Rhubarb Pie) and her brother, Marlin, are playing, you'd think that only one of them would leave alive -


especially now, when both of them are losing their puppy teeth.


When we shout "hey!" after hearing a whimper, both just look up to let us know that it's all in fun.


Oh, right - hats. I was wearing my San Fernando Valley Mercantile Exchange duck/indigo cap.


...and then for the chocolate we picked up this weekend at Lilly.

yay, puppies!

Fantastic hats gentlemen...and puppies, and chocolates. What a way to start the week.

A full slate of activities this past weekend just prior to leaving town during Ryan's Spring Break. The weather, forecast to be quite warm and sunny for the weekend, turned out to be anything but, on Saturday.




Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis, Saturday evening for the Minnesota Orchestra's world premier performance of Judd Greenstein's 'Acadia', a transcendent work commissioned by patrons of the orchestra specifically for the concert. '40s Stetson St. Regis.









The Sun made its welcome appearance late Sunday morning, and temperatures rose quickly. Seafood brunch at one of our favorite seafood eateries in the Twin Cities, Sea Salt, finally re-opened for the season over the weekend. Optimo Montecristi.



Minnehaha Falls, just a few steps away.



We rushed over to the Hamm Building for our friends, the Grammy-winning Parker Quartet's sublime recital in the afternoon...



...and then hurried over to the Guthrie Theater to catch Noel Coward's thoroughly hilarious 'Hay Fever'.

[Aureliano]

The last one is a heck of a shot, Al. I love that Montecristi, a testament of beauty, fine craftsmanship, quality control and dedication from Graham at Optimo. And your good taste at selecting it, of course.

Al, your St. Regis is stunning.
