Today is the current customers holiday party, We asked and contractors can attend so Brian and I paid our $15 to join the fun.
In the spirit of the day I am wearing a green Christmas t-shirt underneath a red cotton ribbed long sleeve shirt. Which way is the mistletoe ladies?

Today is Tuesday December 15th, 2009 and I am looking hot for the holidays in my holiday socks, Someone & Someone I don’t know their names mens clothing shoe store black casual dress shoes, blue jeans, a custom tailored dress shirt white with black pin stripes, and a wonderfully festive Christmas tie.
Todays silk tie features a reindeer with lights in its huge rack of antlers and a wonderfully mischevious holiday smile that screams “look out ladies, this man is looking for mistletoe”

Santa on the beach silk tie
Monday and I am on the train to Washington, D.C. sporting a festive holiday ensamble.
My tie is a beach holiday scene with Santa Claus and a reindeer in the warm sand and a palm tree decorated with multiple colored lights.
This is probably a tie I should have worn next Monday when I am flying in from Orlando than this morning when I am training in from Philadelphia.
The rest of the ensamble is a light blue green buttoned down collar shirt from LL Bean, khakis and holiday previously mentionables

It is Feiday and I am in Chicago for a Microsoft Services team meeting. The temperature is colder then hell with wind chill of stay away from Chicago. Now I could have dialed into the OCS meeting.
But when Anna heard about the meeting she said I should go. To meet my teammates? Be seen in person? No. To pick her up popcorn. I know what kind of lady sends her man out the door two weeks before Christmas to drive around Chicago fly a total of 3000 miles just to bring her popcorn?
Is this a joke? No. I sent her on a Disney Mon’s Panel weekend to Chicago and she loved this stuff. I worked here in the vacinity well Milwaukee and Minneapolis and never heard of the stuff. Spent a year here in the worlds greatest Navy and never heard of it.
She comes out here once and on our two other trips to Chicago this year with Anna during my two weeks at Naval Station Great Lakes with the USNSCC - she hung out with Disney Mom’s Panel moms - and our cross country summer drive, she got more of this popcorn.
I don’t know where to get Garett’s Popcorn except at the Navy Pier which I also never visited while on active duty.
I ask Anna and she tells me to go Whiskey Tango Foxtrot or something I could not hear over the throng and noises of Friday Chicago trsvellers.
She then sends this to her tweeple -
beautygirlsmom: Someone needs to msg @storpappa for directions to @garrettpopcorn at ORD - he’s lost and not allowed to come home without it and included my cell phone number
I know dear readers why would me your poor narrator be subjected to such tortures? Well since we know that I am here for a bit of the old ____ and to see all those _____ - Clockwiork Orange fans, and who isn’t, will fill in the missing words and smile.
So this is how I roll

Red sweater over a red Christmas t-shirt due to the cold weather in both PHL and Chicago today.
Blue jeans, sneakers and a winter coat complete the look. Hat and gloves are in the jacket pocket.

Travelling by air today and on this very cold and blustery Friday morning the Philadelphia International Airport PHL is warm inside. The food court in between Terminal B and C is as usual decorated with multiple Christmas trees wreathes garland and lights,
And the Christmas stage for Santa Claus. I think we saw Santa one year at Terminal D or E but who flies Southwest Airlines?

A visit to the main Amtrak and regional rail station in the city of brotherly love, Philadelphia Pennsylvania, is not complete without a massive dose of background passive radiation from all the marble.
And during the holidays a massive dose of holiday cheer. Outside the ringing bell of the salvation army can and music to the tree inside. I happen to arrive the other evening as they were putting the tree up but waited to post this more festive and less mechanical picture.
Friends Merry Christmas from Trak’s 30th Street Station Philadelphia, PA

Its December 9th, 2009 and after posting the holiday ties, I was asked about other holiday clothes. So I went and posted a picture yesterday of a few of my holiday socks. That led to a few other questions and comments, and of course, since Anna posted pictures of her losing weight, the presidence has already been set - we can post underwear pictures on our website.
Here is my holiday underwear. Yes ladies, it is sparkly, skinny, shows the holiday umm, well you know ;), it its glory. And with different colors, as I strut around, the lights reflect in a wonderful color show. I can’t be booked for private parties, as Anna has my evening schedule reserved for the rest of my life.
And for those of you that prefer boxers, I have those also. Of course these Anna bought. I brefer skimpy bikini briefs. But she bought them, so I put them in rotation for her. On the bottom - haha no pun intended - is regular holiday prints on a red holiday cloth. On top - haha again no pun intended, well okay that time it was on purpose - is the title of one of the greatest Christmas movies, A Christmas Story. Be careful ladies, you might shoot your eye out

Today is Tuesday December 8th, 2009 and its an amazing special day - Anna and the girls will be driving past Washington, DC. and we will get to see the Capital and National Christmas Trees.
Be sure to look on the family page for the pictures of the day.
Now people have been asking me if I just wear Christmas ties, or do I wear the rest of the clothes for the holidays. As you can see here, I do go all the way, in business and casual holiday fashion.
Pictured is two pairs of the many holiday socks that my wonderful wife Anna has accumulated for me over the years, including the holiday trees and the Santa and Reindeer in the hot tub drinking hot chocolate.
Someone asked me once if I knew the difference between a civilian and a citizen. I know now. A citizen has the courage to make the safety of the human race their personal responsibility. Dizzy was my friend. She was a soldier. But most important, she was a citizen of the Federation.
