Thought I'd break character from my usual photo submissions. This photo was taken in Afghanistan in the early 2000's. If memory serves me correctly, this was taken at an Afghan warlords drug burn. Good thing I wasn't standing down wind. Unfortunately, I had just shaven off the beard. Does anyone else care to share how their work attire has "evolved."

Celeste looked at me and thought: “No, you're not cool or cunning enough to be a James Bond 007 character. There’s a bird at the window now.” Casual Navy-Blue Dress Shirt Charcoal Cardigan, Button-Down Vest Dark Brown Chinos Brown Leather Anson Belt w/ Brass Buckle Medium Brown Leather Shoes

The baby shower was a huge success! Our grandson will be arriving around New Year's Day.

A few weeks ago, I asked you, gentlemen, about laundry soap because my shirts and pants were fading quickly. I always welcome further constructive criticism, too. Now, at this point, I can only minimize the damage to my casual dress shirt, but when I buy newer ones, I'll follow y’all’s suggestions because of y’all’s, RMRS, and The Chap’s Guide’s laundry SOPs. However, I’ll have to buy all new pants from Duluth Trading Company. It will take a few months, but at least they will all be the correct size. I’m down to a 40 waist again! As for the fading, we learn most lessons the hard way, don’t we, gentlemen? Thank you from me, my wife, and Celeste. 😉🐱

Brush off your leather shoes and grab that lint roller to dust off your cardigan vest, Grandpa. Because it’s Kayla Dawn Davidge’s and Fischer Wages’s Baby Shower Day for Maverick Morgan Wages. 👶🏼💙
