Why isn't Stone Mountain on the state parks map?

I think this is good.

We were told Le Bistro has a "no jeans" policy (and no shorts, etc.), but it isn't enforced, at all.

The changes in air don't really impact us, but it makes sense.  We usually go two days ahead of time if the port is interesting or with many time zone changes.

Saw this nice photo on FB, liked it, I live in there somewhere.  You can make out the "quad" I run around in the foreground on a track.  There also is the somewhat famous Piedmont Driving Club at the bottom, and no, I'm not a member.




This is the Botanical Garden:

Le Bistro was the only specialty restaurant that I actually saw the dress code enforced.

I like dressing up for fancy dinners on a cruise, or at a nice all-inclusive resort.

I don't do ties anymore, for anyone or anything, but I do bring nice slacks, a jacket or two and nice shirts for cruising.

With this change, I might consider NCL in the future.

No jeans allowed in the main dining room lounge or specialty dining on Azamara. It's one of the things I like about it.

I think I like dressing up until it's time to dress up.  I recently bought another suit, wore it once, so far, to the symphony and dinner beforehand.  I wore a bow tie, not a tie tie.  I can still tie a tie apparently, I tried a while ago.  I have to not think about it.  For my first several years at work, we wore ties.

I even have a "black tie" suit, I am not sure it's much different from a suit suit other than a black stripe on the pants.  Armani doesn't make a blue tuxedo.....

I looked pretty spiffy when we got married.  My wife looked more than spiffy.  I even shaved my mustache which I had had for 45 years.

We're headed to Vienna for two weeks late April, I'm sure I'll be dressing up for this and that.

Does anyone here own "expensive" suits or footware?

I don't try to look like a slob, but I don't particularly want to "dress up" much. 

Part of that is that I run hot most of the time, so if I've got an undershirt, a collared shirt, and then a sportcoat, I'm immediately uncomfortably warm. 

Right now I'm in my house as it's chilly and rainy outside. The thermostat says it's 63 inside the house (as mentioned, I don't run the heat). I'm in a pair of gym shorts. I'm wearing a polo instead of a t-shirt only b/c I have to be on camera for a bunch of my meetings today...

I don't own any fancy dress shoes, but I do own several very expensive pairs of boots.

Here in Texico it's fine to wear them with a suit instead of dress shoes, so I'm covered.  In fact I was wearing a pair of my black boots with my tuxedo at my wedding.

My wife is constantly cold, I'm more like Brad, I feel warm at the moment.  She has the heat set at 75°F.  I'd have it at 68°, and maybe even open windows.  It's really nice but I'm supposed to be doing taxes.
