I get out of bed daily! Some days that is an athletic feat (Eight years ago, the pain management doctor said I was 58 with the body of an 85 year old and would never get better, and just hope to maintain.).

I excel at interval napping (intentional, or otherwise [severe sleep apnea and insomnia does that to you]).

Comfortably Casual.

Business casual, or better, for funerals and weddings.

I own many ties, but prefer not to wear them, or tie them.
