I know this post is a little late and long overdue but it has been a busy week trying to get things wrapped up at the office in time for the Christmas holiday. I'm also terrible at these kinds of things. So I apologize ahead of time🤣 I want to take a moment to thank all of you for being part of this journey with me. I would not have reached level 9 without your support, encouragement, and conversations. I'm truly grateful for your kindness and friendship. I would first like to thank @Antonio Centeno for creating this group that allows us to interact with each other. I have built friendships and had amazing camaraderie with the men in this group. I also want to give special thanks to @James Milson , @Jeffrey Plotka , @Raymond Reeves , @Gunny Khan , @Banjo Piggott Wright , @Sean Kavanaugh , @Carl Ronny Birkeland , @Justin Tillery , @Robert Meyers , @Alan Dormire , and @Mitch Hoover I know I'm forgetting a whole bunch of people but thank you to the many others that I have forgotten. Thanks again you guys are the best!

I felt robbed when I could not dress well when in hospital yesterday, so it was good to get back in the flow today. Today's outfit includes my first time wearing a collar pin shirt. I have one from Brisk and another from Savile Row Co. and it's easy to see that the Savile Row will be a lot easier to wear (and they send a silver- and gold-plated pin with their pin collar shirts). The end bolt on the collar pin is much larger on the Savile Row shirt vs. the nearly impossibly small bolt from the Brisk shirt. Unfortunately, the pin size for the Saville Row includes being about twice the girth, likely making it impossible to use with the Brisk pin-collar shirt. Today's outfit: Shirt & collar pin = Savile Row Co. white twill cotton French cuff pin-collar dress shirt & gold colored collar pin that comes with the shirt Slacks and Jacket paired suit = medium gray single-breasted Peter Millar Tie = Fort Belveder Cri de la soie or mottled silk tie in flecks of medium to light blue - the texture, for silk, makes people want to touch it Belt = Hanks Belt Highland Lines black leather belt with 99.5 years left on the warranty Shoes = Magnani black cap-toe Oxfords. For neglecting their care for several years (still had trees in them), the shoes are in remarkably good condition. Dress socks = Fort Belvedere OTC shadow stripe dress socks with navy on medium blue Cufflinks = Mont Blanc snowflake centered disc in silver with a round border in navy (I think Mont Blanc does the ideal size for including logos on fashion gear, but without using obnoxious sizes) Pocket Square = Fort Belvedere white linen square with hand-stitched X across the edges

Arrived on location with no tables! Supposed to start at 8 and still no tables.
