Good morning again gentlemen, You know being on this journey has made more aware of not just people’s clothing, their style, but also their actions, demeanor, and their character as a whole. The one thing that I noticed and I am embarrassed to say I have been guilty of this, is the lack of genuine politeness and greetings towards people. I see this behavior more and more and it really bothers me, that we tend to not greet one another anymore. I see people walk by each other and not even acknowledge their presence. What happened to the days of greeting people? I am not saying that you have to greet each and every person that you see on a crowded street. But people will not even acknowledge their presence of the person right in front of them or when the are walking through a door, they will walk right past a person and look straight ahead as if they they not even see the person in front of them or off to the side of them. There was a time when men acknowledged a lady by the tipping of the hat, a greeting of the day, for men a simple smile and a nod of their head, something. We have taught our men and especially young men that you have to be hard and show no emotion or gesture towards anyone especially another man. Now men only greet women if they want something from them a number, a date, or lord for bid something other. They only greet other men if it is someone they know. Is it really that difficult to be courteous and greet people? And who knows you might just give that person who is having a bad day hope. So gentlemen, let’s start a trend , let’s start being more cognitive of greeting people and especially giving a proper and cordial greeting. I know you some are thinking one person is not gong to make a difference, but if you as one person does and each of us as one person does this can become infectious. And sometimes by taking that initiative, you are bringing awareness to others of their actions and their lack of being cordial. Will you take this challenge and join me. I Would love to hear what your feedback is after the holiday’s, how this went for you. Even if you are already doing this, join this challenge and be more engaging with people and let’s see if we of the RMRS Community can make a difference.

A client friend’s funeral was today. Lou the First Lady was married to my favorite mayor and was a very close friend of my stepmother. Pretty much the whole community came out to honor her today as I was seated between our state Senator and stepmom. The band had written a song or two for her departed husband our major and Lou and I had become pretty close. My wardrobe choices are pretty limited and since I’ve shrunk too much to wear my black suit O went with a medium grey one. Since God has decided that at least the back of my hairline e needs to become a monk I am choosing to wear hats more and more on these cold days: • MTM medium grey ghosted plaid suit made in October 1995 •White broadcloth’s shirt •Green and silver rep tie • silver with black polka dot pocket square •black Scalia fedora • grey Byford OTC merino wool socks •J Fitzpatrick black captoe shoes • Seiko Model 5 automatic

I'd like your opinion: Do you think this jacket in the "caramel" color is would work with a business casual outfit, where business casual is button-down Oxford +/- sweater, chinos, blutchers or dress boots? https://www.quince.com/men/wool-cashmere-cruiser-jacket?color=caramel&gender=men&tracker=collection_page__%2Fmen%2Fjackets__subcollections-Wool%20Coats__All%20Products__5

Is there a line between dressing well and being a tool? I love to dress well as you do too...however, is there a time and place? I posted Thursday about a fit without a pocket square as to not be "over the top". Today I was at a "cousinsgiving" event and again...was way over dressed. Question, do you ever throttle back given the company? I come from dirty sneakers and rough hands and the family reflect this. Not a dig---I'm proud of my people, they just don't share my passion!

Can you guess my nationality JUST BY LOOKING at me?
