| A tie is more than pattern or material. It is
a balance between the two that makes the
difference between good and great. Paul Shaper
has brought out a line of great ties. They start
with silk using rug patterns. They are well lined
and tend to have a "heavy handle" much
like a Countess Mara tie. If you are wearing a
floppy "Four-in-Hand" knot which is the
fashion today they tie perfectly. If you tend to
be a little more conservative in dress they also
are perfect for a full Windsor as I am wearing in
the image to the right. Tie from Paul

My son Mickey took the picture. We got a foot
of snow so the roads were bad. In the Washington
DC area one foot of snow is a huge amount. So we
left for church early, real early. I tend to
drive my family crazy but I hate to be late for
church. So while we were waiting Mickey took my
picture. I had the camera along because we were
having an installation service for our new pastor
whose parents were old friends of mine. This was
a special occasion since the new Pastor and I see
eye to eye on theology which is very rare. I am a
Christian and I attend a church of the
conservative Lutheran Church Missouri Synod. Even
in a conservative denomination I am in the far
right in terms of theology. In is not that I am
an extremist I just happen to believe that the
Bible is inspired and innerrant Word of God. Of
course I am not a Christian because I am a good
man, quite the opposite, I am a Christian because
I need God's Forgiveness.
