Dress Code

This last week I had to wear a tie two times. Now that may not be important to many of you, but after forty years of wearing a necktie I decided to only do it when necessary. Been that way for about two years and can’t say I miss it. 
The necktie traces back to the time of the Thirty Year War (1618-1648) when Croatian mercenaries from the Military Frontier in French service wore their traditional small, knotted neckerchiefs. The French apparently went wild over the look and it became fashion.
 I decided that as much as I really do like the French, I didn’t need to continue the tradition.  Besides, I always thought putting a noose around my neck was not a good indication of how much I enjoy life. Just Say’n.
