Photo in Sweater Vest
My son Joe has been kind enough to put this blog together for me, so I can’t really complain about his choice of photo. As you might expect there’s a story behind me in a brown sweater vest. A few years back, I was opening my Christmas presents and lo and behold, I opened a box with what appeared to be a nice brown sweater. I gave the appropriate response of: “This is great, I needed a new sweater!” As I lifted the sweater out of the box, I noticed and said simultaneously, “Hey, this sweater doesn’t have any arms!”
Kathy swears that the look on my face was akin to finding out that Santa Claus didn’t exist when it finally dawned on me that I was now the owner of preppy sweater vest. I wore the sweater vest once, at our Annual Caroling Party and two pictures were taken of me to memorialize the event, this one and another using the croque-em-bouche (the conical creampuff pastry) as a hat. I’m kinda glad that one didn’t make the cut. So here I am, preppy writer guy! gb

Dad, there’s no reason to pretend like that sweater best isn’t a staple of your weekly wardrobe. I for one think it looks rather sophisticated and enlightened.
Joe,
I know it’s tough being the son of someone who believes that a clean t-shirt and sweatpants are acceptable business casual attire. Hey, there’s a 50-50 shot that you get your Mom’s sense of style!
Gerry, I thought someone had put a picture of a psycho 70’s movie up. The dark background, earth tones, and hidden hands thing kind of spooked me.
But don’t be mistaken - the sweatervest is the most under-rated garment in the sophisticated man’s wardrobe. Perhaps you should get a few more of them.
I’m thinking that there could be a marketing campaign to improve the popularity of the sweater vest….A Sweater Vest for All Seasons and All Reasons….a swimming sweater vest comes to mind, or an Northface Sweater vest….or maybe not!
this blog looks great,i hope i can read your article very soon.
