I have been retired for 3 years and honestly don't see how I ever had time to work with everything going on. I am curious what drives others once retired. What do you like to do? What gives you fulfillment?

My fiance and I are getting married. The ceremony will take place at the family horse ranch in front of the large luxury barn. Theme is "Kentucky Derby". Formal attire is NOT required, but I'm still trying to keep it classy. I've decided on a 3-piece black tuxedo with a notch lapel. I will wear either my black Ariat Western boots or black Chelsea boots. The bride is wearing a white and fuchsia dress. I'm wanting to play with colors of tie and pocket square to complement her choice, but there's no way in hell I'm doing fuchsia. A quick complementary color search suggested deep aqua and gold. I was thinking either solid colors or black with trim colors. Also somewhat torn between a bow or necktie. thoughts/suggestions?

A great way to handle potentially “difficult” students is to encourage them to get into in chess. They love getting the opportunity to beat the teacher at something, but in playing and getting good at it, students learn problem solving skills and a work ethic. I have a seminar class at the school where I work at that is designed to be a study hall/ club/meet with teacher time/etc. I often use chess to encourage kids who are having trouble wanting to do their homework. I have them do half, then get a chance to beat me at chess, then do the other half. And now if you'll permit me, I was very proud of this checkmate I managed to achieve against a kid who has been really pressing to beat me.

Okay, trying to decide. White or origianal black?

Thoughts on the following companies for loafers: - Ferragamo - Allen Edmond - Thursday boots I know they are in very different categories. Just wanted some general feedback on them.
