Things That Please Me

A friend of mine was telling me how disappointed he was that a friend had muscled him out of a job prospect. She had assured him she had no desire to move to New York for work. Of course, once she had gotten word that he had applied, she swiftly changed her mind. 

It is unfortunate of course, but it’s something I understand. She’s a shitty friend, sure, but she is also like many people in her thought process. A move to New York is terrifying and uncomfortable (especially coming from outside of the United States) It is impossible to imagine yourself having the courage to up and move to a presumably cutthroat place like New York. Until someone else does it. And the fact that someone close to her was taking the steps to do what she was afraid to do was the green light. She only assumed it wasn’t realistic. 

The four minute mile eluded modern runners for decades, and was even considered “dangerous and life threatening” if attempted. Until Roger Bannister clocked in at 3:59.4 in 1954. A mere two months later, Australian John Landy also broke the four minute mile (losing to Bannister in the same race). The next 50 or so years of running saw Bannister’s record being beaten by a staggering 17 seconds.

Land’s End Canvas madras short sleeved shirt. I don’t really mess with short sleeved shirts but when I do they look like this. Nice tapered sleeves, and a trim fit in the body..bonus points for the chambray collar..

That’s pretty cool

One of my favorite shots floating around the internet’s lazy river. The jacket and tie are unimpeachable. Just try and impeach them. You can’t. 

It’s too small…
