I guess I’m going to have to get up earlier and get my posting done on this site so that those of you who go to work in the early morning hours will have time to get properly dressed for the daily activities.  What I’m getting at here is this:

Today, April 3, 2012 is “National Tweed Day”!!!  Look at you right now.  Are you dressed in Tweed?  Do you have a spruced up Tweed hat on?  Probably not on both questions!

So, had I gotten up and told you about this earlier, you would have at least had a chance to get properly dressed.  Now, look around at your co-workers.  How many of them are dressed in Tweed?  Probably none.  Because of my failure I’m sure.  Ask them at break and find out how many of them know that today is a famous holiday…in the name of Tweed.

As I sit here I am thinking about all the Tweed clothing in my closet that I could wear today…………..and……….I…………..can’t………..think…………of………any………in ………there.  My bad.

Ah, but a very good memory comes over me about my past.  It was a very long time ago, I was stationed in Germany at the time and I took a week off and went to Scotland for a little fishing.  The river divides Scotland from England and it’s called “The Tweed”.

I guess my memories of that river will have to suffice for me today on this National Tweed Day!
