I do believe my Irish roots run deep

In keeping with my colors of Christmas theme, I chose a gold sweater (Christmas liturgical colors are either gold or white) to go under my Royal blue blazer with a gold and blue pocket square (to celebrate the Advent season). Grabbed a green with light blue and gold micro dot shirt and a green rep tie with gold along with my grey flannel pants. Pantherella socks, 1982 Cole Haan Waxhides and my Seiko Model 5. Having lunch with a pastor client today.

While many of us are finishing our work year, preparing for Christmas related activities and events, and a myriad of other things, two fan bases, of college football teams and two of the true blue bloods of college football, take the field tonight in Norman Oklahoma for the first game in 2026 College Football Playoffs. As anyone who knows, seen, or follows me, I am a proud graduate of The University of Alabama and I’m also the superstitious type. I have a full slate that I am plowing through today, taking short breaks to keep up my social standings and chit chat with fellow fans and friends, but in the end will have an 8 hour day done in 5 and begin the Gameday process. However, back to the superstitious part, when I ready myself in the morning, I’m dress for “battle”, so my “uniform” will not change between now and the 7:00 Central Standard Time kick off this evening. The shirt, Nike Alabama Sideline shirt The pullover, Horn Legend Tide edition The jeans, Daniel Cremieux (NOW in 35 inch waist so down another inch!) The boots, Florsheim Chelsea The scent, Polo Red The watch, Victorinox with Alabama logo The hair, by me The shoulder, getting better. Make it a good day.
