Every year I ask folks to name the most famous Christian Evangelist in the world. And while St Paul and Billy Graham among others certainly are significant- I argue it was St Patrick. Without St Patrick the tiny island of Ireland wouldn’t have been converted which led to St Columba coming to the minuscule island of Iona in Scotland and the spread of the faith through the British Commonwealth and the monastic communities might not have survived the ravages of the dark ages. Plus you get to drink green beer ☘️🇮🇪😎. Today’s OOTD was inspired by both a 29 degree start to the day playing on outside stages and an ode to the original colors of St Patrick and Ireland: blue (look it up). The closest things I have to saffron (another ancient Irish color) is the gold/‘mustard/ gold in my Bowler hat. To keep with the ancient color scheme I have my requisite green in an olive in the tie. Merino wool gold sweater, royal blue MTM blazer, CT striped shirt. Samuelson grey flannel pants Pantherella socks, shell cordovan brogues, Orvis watch and the McGuire county (Fermanagh) tartan scarf. The emblem of County Fermanagh is McGuire Castle. Thought this appropriate for today. Have a blessed fun day celebrating the world’s most famous Christian Evangelist.

My wife and I celebrated our eighteenth anniversary Sunday night. She said she thinks I look better and dress way better, now, than when we got married. That spoke a lot to me. It’s because of groups like this, RMRS, Gentlemen’s Gazette, among others, that really helped me improve and I am thankful.
