I'll be wearing a black hat and raising a toast to Bob later today. :(

This "+1" is for you @RJR

To RJR:
No matter the crowns you wore here on earth, be it your lovely Borsalinos, your CDs or your berets and trilbys, none compare to your new Crown we can’t see yet know it’s beyond any we will ever see here. Bespoke and beyond, one day we each will will show you ours.
Until then Bob, enjoy it for us and bless you RJR.

Thank you for sharing this. My heart goes out to his family. If any of them happen to read this, I hope they know that Bob was a beloved member of this lounge and will truly be missed. I know I will personally miss seeing his Indy inspired hats. Rest peacefully Bob.

To you dear friend across the pond:
May you rest in peace.
If I Should Die Before the Rest of you

If I should die before the rest of you
Break not a flower nor inscribe a stone
Nor, when I’m gone, speak in a Sunday voice,
But be the usual selves that I have known.
Weep if you must
Parting is hell.
But life goes on.
So sing as well.

Greetings All:
Today....i’ve been reflecting on several things. Moms, gone and present. Children, blessings beyond words. The passing of friends from long ago and newfound, such as here in the Lounge Family.
Things left unsaid and undone.

Why do i have hats i don’t wear because i feel they are too valuable, rare or pristine.

Special occasion hats where the special occasion never comes. Then the bell rings all to soon and they are just hats in a box.
So, to that, today...one i wouldn’t wear but today i will so as not to go hoarded and unappreciated before the bell rings closer to home.
A Berteil of Paris, in very dark blue, where G. Borsalino learned his trade as a young man. An exquisite example on all fronts, old and grand.
I hope Bob (RJR) would give it a +1.
Be well. Bowen
