Rocking the bowtie

So, I decided I wanted / needed to learn how to tie a bowtie.
My reasoning behind this I guess, is a desire for a formal event at which I would need to wear one
as well as a desire to learn knots. There is no way I would wear a clip on...
So I found a affordable one at Amazon. Come to find out the store was in China. I figured they are all made there anyway so I bought it $7 for a tie pocket square and matching cuff links... not too bad.
Anyway, this is me Rocking the bowtie.

Pizza

So, I experienced a new thing last night... a crazy line up shall be listed.
1. Casper Fry
for cocktails - a Sazarac and a Roasted Red Pepper Caiparina
2.South Perry Farmers Market
for fresh produce, bread and an amazing cinnamon roll from a Russian woman named Olga
3.Veraci
for pizza... http://veracipizza.com/
4. The Lantern
For a quick beer - Avery Nineteen
5The Flying Goat
for more pizza... http://www.theflyinggoat.com/

I have to say I have never had Pizza followed by Pizza before all in the span of about an hour.
They were both delicious! I think I may have a problem...

Step 2

So, Step 2 of the better man business starts friday...

Tango lessons.
Wish me luck.
We can only hope I don't die of embarassment or throw out my spleen.
$10 dollars gets one hour of lessons and two hours of practice...
Why oh why does this make me so nervous.
Anyway,
most likely I will love it.
The hardest thing will probably be,
convincing my partner to let me lead...

Better Man?

So, Chris suggested I do something along the lines of a "better man blog" and I think I am going to. I feel like I have a bit of a head start with this since I have been doing things like learning how to tie more knots, Learning how to make Charcuterie and foraging for mushrooms and assorted edibles etc. How and where to proceed I have not figured out yet. But, the seed is planted and I am thinking about things to do. Perhaps take a "Dance class" like ballroom or something formal. Maybe do the art thing again (as in a show) a cooking class... or a wine tasting class. Lots of other things to do to like get finances under contol, License back, car, motorcycle etc.

Also, any thoughts on what might make me a better man?

Anyway at the gentle urging of a friend I did something I have wanted to do for many years now... I broke down and got another Tattoo and it was affordable. So I guess that is going to be step one in my better man business. I don't know how much will be public or how often I will update but what the heck, gonna give it a shot...

Here it is. By the way, does this count as one or four?

Where to go

I have been thinking about what to do with this thing since I finished my 365... Technically a 366 because of leap year. Still don't know what is next.
