Suit up!

The Summer season is upon us and that means that weddings are inevitable.  Last year was an easy one for me, but this year proves to be more of a struggle.  I have three weddings and one ripped suit.  As a result, I recently went suit shopping to deter my last minute scramble of years past.  One important thing to do when buying a suit is to engage with an informative salesman.  One who knows suits and measures correctly.  As far a the suit goes, I have learned that hand sewn suits are more resilient that machine ones.

In addition, I use a wrinkle test to grab the material and let loose to check for wrinkle marks as I am pretty active.  The shirt should be as shiny as possible and the button should be very hard.  Try to get a coat that is cashmere or wool or a hybrid.  Also, having a waterproof coating is also advisable for the sloppy women you try to court.  Do a test bend on the shoes and make sure the leather doesn’t wrinkle.

Cape Cod

There is no place like Cape Cod. Mini Golf, beaches, oceanside bars, and golf to name a few. I’m a workaholic that never really relaxes, at least my wifes says. I love going to the Cape because it gives me a sense of relaxation that I can’t get anywhere else. Just make sure that you avoid the miles long backups on the approach by either hitting the off days or the back roads.

We recently bought a Cape Cod Home on Nantucket and have hired a leading Cape Cod Remodel Company to handle the project for us. We expect to have the home ready for next year and enjoy the Summer of 2010.

There are many small quaint towns on the Cape and every one has their own unique experience. I highly suggest that you take a week off and head down to the peninsula this summer to get some relaxation. Bring your bathing suit, sunblock, and GPS.
