Might be a good name for a butler..but I have to give that some thought - whether I will need butling. More importanty I observed a not so knotty phenomenon that perhaps the readership did too. While people in ties abound the universe these days - what from the newscasters and weathermen to all consultants and politicos and the local bank teller wearing one, there is also a renewed resurgence of Jeans.
Every major tech company CEO now favors Jeans over the suit and tie. Major product launches and testimonials are shared with and by the chief-in-jeans. Jobs to Cook to Ballmer to Bookface to Bezos to Brin - everyone has one besides their grin.
What I am waiting to hear is Marissa Mayer (who herself not in jeans) announcing a free 'Jeans of your choice' employee benefit to all Yahoos after recently bestowing them with an Apple smartphone earlier this year. Perhaps this Christmas?
I say this is good news for slobs like me - while I have not launched anything remotely (or in person) monumental other than this blog I am proud to say I do it in jeans. I have scores of them - not sure what a score is but you get the idea. I am not keeping it - score that is. I have some light blue, some dark and a tan. I know I have a charming skin tone but stay focused on the jeans for me.
So while this bodes very well for the Jean manufacturing community, execs et al, I sincerely hope that people who wanted to have people believe of their sincerety or standing should quit their ties and get into jeans. No need to feel tied down or around.
Even my butler - if and when I have one - will wear (you guessed it) Jeans! No hoodies though - just personal preference!
This autumn the weather gods cooperated as we took a family trip in the northeast to see six states that qualify or makeup what is known colloquially in America as New England. Mass, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhode Island (tiniest state in the union). The outing helped tally up the states we either lived in, visited or have worked in to 47. Guess which three have eluded this intrepid traveling family. Any rate the drive was all in about 1,800 miles and included some memorable geographic wonders or points of interest. Easternmost part of state of Massachusetts being one. Furthest drivable road east in Mass being another. Visit to all Ivy League schools (term harkens to a collegiate athletics conference and generally regarded as elite academic institutes of some repute worldwide) is another random bucket list item of which this trip afforded the chance to knock two more of the list. Dartmouth in Hanover, NH and Brown (and its sister institute the RISD - school f
The BIG advantage of Jeans is that unwashed ones are as good as the washed variety- you can't differentiate between the two easily either.
