Can and Should, the Wearing of Ascots and Neckerchiefs: #30folds30days, Three Point Winged Fold, Day 29

August 18, 2015

Life is about navigating a series of “can”s and “should”s. There are many, many things you can do. Whether you should or not, is another question entirely. There are some basics that you pick up in youth. Can you touch the hot stove? Yes. Should you? No, definitely not. It continues on throughout life. You certainly can go … More Can and Should, the Wearing of Ascots and Neckerchiefs: #30folds30days, Three Point Winged Fold, Day 29

Cool and Sunglasses: #30folds30days, Rising Peak Fold, Day 25

July 23, 2015

Some days, I walk out the door, and I know that I have it. Whatever it is, I got it. The sun shining, a fresh pair of shoes, and a well fitting suit. It all just comes together, and I feel…cool. Not in a superior way, but in a way that just radiates positive energy. You know when … More Cool and Sunglasses: #30folds30days, Rising Peak Fold, Day 25

July 22, 2015

There comes a point in life when you start to know what you like in someone that you date. Sure, some people can come along and surprise you, but for the most part, by your mid- to late 20’s you have certain traits you look for. Physically, mentally, emotionally. And other things that are red … More What you like, Red Flags, and Shirts that Fit: #30folds30days, Double Winged Puff, Day 24

Complexity and Collars: #30folds30days, Valley Fold, Day 23

July 16, 2015

I remember the first time I talked to someone who actually knew football. Not in the way that they could name every player on their favorite football team, or knew all the fantasy scores. I’m talking an X’s and O’s, offensive versus defensive strategy way. Up until that point, football had always operated in my mind … More Complexity and Collars: #30folds30days, Valley Fold, Day 23

Hangers and Things You Hang Onto: #30folds30days, Straight Stair Fold, Day 22

July 15, 2015

I was a pretty forgetful kid. I don’t know if that’s just a normal kid thing, or something particular to me. My head was in the clouds and on other things. Consequently, I lost stuff sometimes. Or a lot. But when I was eight years old, my father gave me his swiss army knife that … More Hangers and Things You Hang Onto: #30folds30days, Straight Stair Fold, Day 22

Discord and Socks: #30folds30days, Sprezz Prez Fold, Day 21

July 14, 2015

I was at a concert during law school, and it was a young guy playing an acoustic act in the Berkshires. He was opening for Jonathan Edwards (of Sunshine fame). And he was clearly talented, had a great voice, wrote well, and could play guitar. The one thing was, that his guitar was just a … More Discord and Socks: #30folds30days, Sprezz Prez Fold, Day 21

Dance and Dress for a Wedding: #30folds30days, Rolling Plateau Fold, Day 20

July 10, 2015

I went to a wedding recently, and from what I was told, I had something near a seizure when dancing to Taylor Swift’s “Shake it Off.” The bride told me she shook every bone in her body trying to keep up. Sometimes, I just can’t help myself. When I’m at a wedding, and the music … More Dance and Dress for a Wedding: #30folds30days, Rolling Plateau Fold, Day 20

The One Step You’re Missing To Tie A Bow Tie: #30folds30days, Two Ripples Fold, Day 19

July 9, 2015

In college, it was rare that you needed to wear a tie. I mean some people did, if they were in something dorky like student government. Then you wore a tie for meetings and stuff. So, at the very least I knew how to tie a tie. And more than that, I knew how to … More The One Step You’re Missing To Tie A Bow Tie: #30folds30days, Two Ripples Fold, Day 19

A Trip in the Dark, Risk, and Pattern Matching: #30folds30days, Dunaway Fold, Day 18

July 8, 2015

A few years back I was out with my then girlfriend on Lake George. We had taken the boat down to a restaurant right on the lake, you pull up, dock, and step right off to get a table. We stayed late with my friends and had a wonderful time.  The day turned into night, the … More A Trip in the Dark, Risk, and Pattern Matching: #30folds30days, Dunaway Fold, Day 18

Some Words About Denim: #30folds30days, Four Point Fold, Day 17

July 7, 2015

Denim is a quintessentially American piece of clothing. Which is to say that its origins are rooted outside of the country, and its trail through history spreads across the globe. Clearly, I’m still on the Fourth of July America kick. Legend has it that the fabric itself has its origins in France, coming from the region … More Some Words About Denim: #30folds30days, Four Point Fold, Day 17
