TGIF everyone. Ready for a few meetings today and to get the weekend started. My 47th Birthday is on Sunday so get to spend some Time with my family this weekend. I love it when it falls on a weekend work doesn’t ruin it, LOL. OOTD: - light blue short sleeve button down - Brown leather belt - Slim fit Chino pants - Brown lace up boots - Bulova watch

It's been a week! Collars and Co Navy performance polo over Vertx tan pants. Black Anson belt with silver buckle and black Tecovas boots. Nautica blue dial watch and Versace Eros for today. High stress this week but knocked time sensitive items out if the way the were due Monday. It's not over but next week is the junior police academy and not much else will get done. Sorry I didn't crop my photos today.

Today's agenda is centered around my presentation to our staff the "cap deck" we recently finished. Consulting companies are often asked to come to potential clients and present on their capabilities. Thus, the cap (capabilities) deck is a critical tool. It needs to do more that share what you can do (which, in research/science fields, is quite critical), it's how you present it. The quality of the slide deck is important, but so it what you say and what you emphasize. Given the combination of having recently and thoroughly overhauled the capabilities deck, most of my staff have limited experience on the business development tasks. Our head of business development, who has 30 years of such experience, is new to P3. Therefore, I am working to help everyone how best to present our capabilities to our clients and potential clients. I intentionally dressed in a more relaxed manner (for me) so as to soften the "boss's" presence and engender conversation and questions. Here's what I have: • Shirt — DS-046 (Charles Tyrwhitt): A CT slim-fit Non-Iron Twill dress shirt featuring a bold mid-blue and white large check pattern with navy accents. The 2-ply cotton twill has medium-to-high opacity and soft hand, with 2-linear cuff buttons on a barrel cuff and a classic point collar. Tuesday Rules pick at 0% cost reduction—never worn before. (I used the Tuesday rules of minimal use for 1+ item since I could not yse them on Tuesday). • Undershirt — US-003 (Pro Club): A heavy-weight white cotton crew neck undershirt that provides solid coverage under the check pattern. XL sizing with medium-to-heavy drape ensures no show-through on this medium-opacity dress shirt. • Vest — VWC-008 (Hisdern): A striking light maroon (red) windowpane business vest in wool blend with green and mustard brown accent checks. Single-breasted with 5 red buttons, silver two-sided rear buckle, and slot hip pockets and a chest pocket. Roomy but elegant fit—adds a colorful statement layer.

Kirby Allison's website (kirbyallison.com) just began their Father's Day sale, which is 20% off everything they sell. Here's the real trick: in their menus, on the far right, is "last chance" items. These are items they want to sell the last ones and have discounted them. I often check there as they have various items I usually seek: ties, pocket squares, and other accessories. Well, the discounts stack. You get 20% off the reduced price for these "last chance" items. To, umm, ensure it worked... I bought a few things myself. Just to ensure this really worked. That's my story!
