bustermcleod: Why does each business tax agency have 3 names, completely different ways to file (electronically, paper, web), and different pay schedules?

bustermcleod: My strategy for paying bills is rather loosey-goosey. It saves a lot of time, but often involves late fees.

We're not competing, but moonraye  is running a lot!  Today was a perfect day for a run, and I couldn't be bothered to go very fast.  But Lance Armstrong thanked me for going on my longest run yet at the end of it.  I love the Nike+.

Hmmm... it's not displaying properly. I'll leave it here for a while and see if the numbers show up. Otherwise, here's a link:

Buster McLeod added an entry about buy a bespoke suit:

Met up and talked with Scott Kuhlman about my suit, and finally got to the part that I’ve been really excited about… details.

After talking about the bigger vision (rock and roll speakeasy) we brainstormed about ways to merge some old school details with a more modern aesthetic. Specifically:

• Narrow peaked lapel. A peaked lapel is traditionally used exclusively on double-breasted suits, but in more modern times has come to single-breasted suits.
• No breast pocket. I’m going tuxedo-style which doesn’t have a pocket square. Instead, I’m gonna have a little loop for a boutonnière.
• Crazy lining.
• One functional button on each sleeve
• No vents (tuxedo-style)
• On seem front pockets on the pants
• One back right pocket on the pants
• Shiny buttons, or some other cool buttons that he’s gonna look for in NYC and LA
• Slim fit, tapered pants
• Garnet bow tie and cummerbund for me, matching bow ties for all of my groomsmen

It was a lot of fun talking about these details while finishing off a bottle of wine he had for such occasions. Eventually, Frank came and took all of my measurements.

Next step: first fitting, where I think I’m gonna get to try on the first version of the suit.
