You might recall my April post detailing the saga of the linen suit my mother purchased for me as an early birthday present.
Well enough with the words, there’s some pixels of the outfit with the blue linen shirt from J. Peterman and the white Johnson & Murphy bucks with me cleaned up and inside it all, snapped on our suite’s balcony by Susan May 14 as we steamed toward Monte Carlo from Corsica just prior to stepping out to attend our final dinner onboard the Regent Seven Seas Navigator. Where and when is there a better to sport such an ensemble? Nowhere and never.
The only thing missing from the picture is a martini.
P.S. The calm of the Ligurian Sea behind me belies the surprise night-long 100-kph windstorm we were to plow into beginning a couple hours later.

Appropriately, this was image #007 on my card. And, sweetie, you sure wore it well! The MOST handsome man on the high seas.

007 indeed! Welll done Susan! Looking Sharp, Will!

To be honest, I had reservations about the suit when you first mentioned it — I have seen many a white suit that should never have been taken out of the closet.
But Dude! Take a well built suit, a well built man, add in an idealic setting, and WOW! That is an attractive photo. Now THAT is what ZZTop was talking about (sharp dressed man).

Nice suit, but how did you manage to get through dinner without spilling on it? I couldn’t have.
May 24th, 2007 at 7:58 am
Barely Mark. Given my predeliction for spillage, I don’t think I’ve ever in my life been more focused on transfering food directly and detourlessly to my piehole. The extra effort paid off.

No matter how careful I am, food ends up on me when I eat.

You’ll live. The only thing missing from my picture is a martini too…and it feels fantastic.
Lynn thought that white linen suit was very sporting. She likes the trip too. Anjd I think it was very tasteful of your mother to upholster you to match the deck chairs.

I dare you to do the Fargo Street Hill Climb next year in that sharp suit with one hand on the handlebars and the other clutching a martini.
Not to be a stickler for details, but you did break the white suit before Memorial Day rule. You better hope the fashion police don’t read this blog.

Yeah, but it was in international waters so the fashion rules and their enforcement agency have no jurisdiction!

You are a fine looking man in a fine looking suit! I was going to have a little fun with Photoshop and add the missing Martini, but the picture Susan took is just perfect as it is.
