Day 266

True story - I walk into the bathroom this morning while our youngest was brushing his teeth. He turns and says to me, "Papi, is that a new bow tie because you look so awesome!" Gotta love the how the 3 year old's vocabulary is growing. 

Today's bow isn't new. It's actually one of the first gifted by a supporter. Check out the rest of these awesome bow ties from R.Hanaur here.

Day 214

Today and tomorrow will be spent with a room full of math teachers who are from a variety of other charter middle schools in the network I work for. The days are sure to be spent doing one of three things: planning, planning or planning.

Today's bow came courtesy of the kind folks at ties.com. They have an enormous collection of cool stuff. Please check them out here. Don't forget to check out their blog, too. You might find some rad content there!

Day 187

How do I beat the NYC heat wave? Try to look cool, of course. I can't do much about feeling cool, so at least looking so will have to do. Bow ties don't get much cooler than those that come with a chain attached. Check out this bow tie beauty from 80spurple.com. Stay hydrated, folks.

Day 150

Thank God for a productive morning. The day Lucas turns 3 had me up before 6. I completed a full WOD and ran 2.5 miles before I left for work. At work, my homeroom had a chance to talk about the value of our words before being inspired by Caine's Arcade. All this happened before my first period math class where my scholars are drawing bar models to find the total amount of a quantity given a fractional amount of the quantity. Great stuff!

Speaking of great stuff, this time came by way of the good people at This Humble Abode and I'm so fond of the relationship between this shirt and tie that I've decided to wear them together again! Happy Tuesday, folks!

Day 34

Happy Friday, kids! Since it's Friday I decided to go a little casual and rock the denim vest. In addition to the amazing pink/black plaid bow tie (yes, that's a chain that's attached to the bow's straps) I'm super excited to floss my newest (and ridiculously comfortable) coordinating boots. The bow is an Ashton Michael original from 80sPurple and (because I know you're interested) the footwear is cotton candy/black Steve Madden 4 Cool People.

Day 10

One more milestone accomplished today - well, sort of. Day 10 marks the completion of 1% of my challenge to wear a bow tie for the next 1,000 days. Although I'm commited to completing my challenge on my own I welcome anyone to join forces with me and wear a bow tie yourself, send me a bow tie to wear, or send me a picture of yourself wearing a bow tie. For those of you who may have forgotten, here's a reminder of why I'm doing this. 

Today's bow tie comes from Randall over at bowties.com. Aside from the fact that the pink in the tie coordinates well with the pink stripes on my shirt, if you look close enough you'll see that this tie is actually made using two different fabrics. Pretty neat, huh? Well, I think so!
