    Bond...James Bond...



    ...well, maybe not, but last night, Professor Dr SWMBO and I attended a black tie event at the Constitution Center in Philadelphia to benefit the "institution of higher learning" that she's on the faculty of. It was actually a nice time, with good food and included a wonderful performance by the Philadelphia Boy's Choir. Sadly, we missed desert as we felt that 5 hours was more than enough pain to inflict upon the sitter...

    And no...I don't normally dress like this! Especially in the shop...

    I'm envisioning a new black tie and tails turning smock. Looks like great neck protection.

    Yeah, what Nancy said. Where do you hide the pony tail?

    It's only a small fragment of what it used to be...the girls pestered me constantly on the subject, but after 20 years, I wasn't going to lose it all!

    The sitter actually ended up with a pretty easy job since she was ably assisted by Lucy and Ricky Ricardo... (The girls are head over heels enjoying several seasons worth of I Love Lucy these days)

    Glad you and LOYL were able to escape for a while Jim!

    Today is the anniversary and LOML and I were able to leave the munchkins with Granny and Aunt dolly for a few hours.

    It is best to keep good sitters happy as they are hard to find.

    I am debating on whacking my hair again. It's about time, Maybe after 5 Barns.

    Nice shot Jim,

    Although James...James Gandolfini, cause I think

    you look more like a Don then a Bond.
