My Boss

Yesterday the Urbana office took a road trip to our home office in Peoria for a pot lunch for a retiring employee. I took a cherry pie I'd baked and folks gushed over it. Fruit pies are pretty easy to make, unless you decide to make your own pie crust( with lard; they are the best).

My boss is a chronic tie buyer and gave me about 20 ties which are $100.00 to $150.00 dollar ties. He buys them, wears them three to four times, or not at all, then gives them to me for free. It is extremely generous of him.After an extremely rocky start we really have become incredibly tight friends; he has really looked out for me in many ways, including good annual raises.

love you all,

  2. I wondered where you got that good looking tie you were wearing last week. I still wear the one you bought me on Michigan Avenue over 20 years ago. It still draws compliments.
    Hail to the Chief.
    Love, Jeff

  3. You always put your foot into your wardrobe, Mr. Taylor, that's one thing I like about you. And your stylish digs is why you caught yourself a fine lady like Mrs. T too!
