My father was a university professor and his thing was tenure. any time i hear a university professor say tenure, i hear the word dinosaur. you're not supposed to be getting tenure. you're supposed to be figuring out how you can teach more students at a better price and more effectively. that's your job.

Towns are full of people, houses full of tenants, hotels full of guests, trains full of travelers, cafés full of customers, parks full of promenaders, consulting-rooms of famous doctors full of patients, theatres full of spectators, and beaches full of bathers. what previously was, in general, no problem, now begins to be an everyday one, namely, to find room.

And what an example of the power of dress young oliver twist was! wrapped in the blanket which had hitherto formed his only covering, he might have been the child of a nobleman or a beggar;—it would have been hard for the haughtiest stranger to have fixed his station in society. but now he was enveloped in the old calico robes, that had grown yellow in the same service; he was badged and ticketed, and fell into his place at once—a parish child—the orphan of a workhouse—the humble, half-starved drudge—to be cuffed and buffeted through the world, despised by all, and pitied by none.

In mythos and fairy tales, deities and other great spirits test the hearts of humans by showing up in various forms that disguise their divinity. they show up in robes, rags, silver sashes, or with muddy feet. they show up with skin dark as old wood, or in scales made of rose petal, as a frail child, as a lime-yellow old woman, as a man who cannot speak, or as an animal who can. the great powers are testing to see if humans have yet learned to recognize the greatness of soul in all its varying forms.

The expression "following suit" is a curious one, because it has nothing to do with walking behind a matching set of clothing. if you follow suit, it means you do the same thing somebody else has just done. if all of your friends decided to jump off a bridge into the icy waters of an ocean or river, for instance, and you jumped in right after them, you would be following suit. you can see why following suit can be a dangerous thing to do, because you could end up drowning simply because somebody else thought of it first.

Generally speaking, i'm a jeans, t-shirt and boots man but i do own an armani suit, which gets a regular outing. it's nothing fancy - just a classic, well-cut suit with clean lines and beautiful tailoring. it's timeless and you can mix and match it with anything to dress up or dress down.
