Yesterday's festivities went very well, though a bit more poignant that I expected. Logan started his day by going back to his elementary school (k-5 for him), along with many of his classmates from the same school and grade. This is a way of trying to motivate the 5th grade class on their continued journey. As Logan transferred to a different high school to enroll in an advanced program with HS/college classes mixed, it meant leaving many friends behind. While they all stayed in the same area, not seeing folks on a daily basis who you enjoyed seeing for K-8 grades is a major change. It became clear to him how many more friends he had in the old high-school path vs. his current high school and it stung a bit. Just as he was lamenting this to me after the graduation ceremony, his girlfriend of three years surprised him by showing up. This was very well timed to make him realize he did make some incredible new relationships at this school. The other change, which I told him is 100% his decision, is that he is not going to the AA degree ceremony today. When he learned it would be about 3 hours long (and they usually run longer), he was burnt out. I get it and the attainment of the degree is what really matters, not some unknown dean handing you a blank piece of paper (most placed stopped trying to hand out the actual degrees decades ago given the number of errors). That decision invited me to be a bit more casual today. This was mostly a self-crafted outfit, and many items have a small pattern. I know this is not the normal approach to multiple patterns, so I very much invite feedback. The linen vest already had some fun creases before I got into the office, despite it having cotton in it. Alas... • Shirt — DS-032 (Charles Tyrwhitt): A classic CT Prince of Wales check in ocean blue with yellow and dark blue accents. The French cuffs with adjustable button add a touch of elegance, while the 5" point collar provides a perfect frame for today's tie. Cotton construction ensures all-day comfort through meetings and dinner alike.

More business development meetings, exploring new ideas and opportunities.

The piqued weave adds a 3 dimensional depth, greater stiffness to the fabric, and formality to the finish. H.
