The little details


I was just over at XMarkstheScot, I'm a mod over there so spend a lot of time. Anyway one of the members brought up pocket squares. I always wear a white pocket square, I find it is a classic look and one of those little details that sets one outfit above another. It has been brought up already about wearing pocket squares that match part of your outfit, for me though I find a white hankie works great. One other thing about hankies, I always or almost always have 3 with me, one for me, one for my wife, and one for my pocket.

Scottish Studies Foundation Boat Cruise






Catherine and I went on the Scottish Studies Foundation Boat Cruise yesterday. This was my third year on the cruise and Catherine's first. It was a great time, and it was nice to see some old friends and meet new ones as well. Besides getting far too much sun, and Catherine having a headache for most of the day it was another great cruise around the Toronto islands . The Sunday of Labour Day long weekend is not just the cruise, but also the air show at the Canadian National Exhibition, being on the Empire Sandy gives you an interesting vantage point of the planes as they go by. It really was a great day, after the cruise we were invited by some friends to go to dinner with them, we all went to the Old Spaghetti Factory for a late lunch/early dinner.
