I park in a parking deck on campus. It’s a block from the office. I like the walk, most of the time, because it’s almost enough to separate the parts of your day. (Plus it keeps my car out of the weather!) So you figure I’ve parked there almost every working day for five years. Which means I’ve made that walk more than 1,000 times, allowing for parking in other places and what not.
Which means I’ve made that walk, back and forth more than 2,000 times or so.
Which means I’ve walked by this speed bump that same number, whatever it is, and never noticed …
But I saw that expression this evening and my immediate thought was, Now here’s a speed bump that’s seen some things…
The daily duds: Pictures of clothes I put here to, hopefully, help avoid embarrassing scheme repeats.
Today it saw a classic pocket square.
It’s all a part of my fall collection. I did not make that square. It came with a tie I bought years ago. Later this autumn I’ll wear the tie.
Here are today’s bespoke cufflinks.
I made these last summer. The colors mean they’ll match a lot of shirts.
I’m a fan of that sort of utility.
Last night’s TV productions … the news!
And the pop culture!
Tonight we were in the studio again, and it’s all about sports.
Just a loaded, loaded, episode of @iustvsports’ Hoosier Sports Nite with @karaadams2, @ta_lao19 and @Noah_Aeneas. @iustv pic.twitter.com/gzyX7MPpeK

This episode, which I’ll share here tomorrow, boasts of origins from Indiana to Thailand to Alabama. And, no, that part isn’t me. Noah, the third person in that gif, is from Montgomery. Studios may as well be home, and you always want to have a bit of home around you. But it’s even more fun to talk about the same towns and schools and restaurants and such with someone who grew up not far away from where you did.
Someone has to tell all these midwesterners about good food, after all.
