Try to enter the narrow way...

Abba Matoes said that three old men went to Abba Paphnutius, who was called Cephalus, to ask a word from him. The old man said to them, 'What do you want me to say to you? A spiritual word, or a bodily word?' They said, 'A spiritual word.' The old man said to them, 'Go, and choose trials rather than stillness, shame rather than glory, and to give rather than to receive.' - Abba Matoes

Well, on a positive note, he DOES have nice legs. Perhaps that's the point of this ensemble.
I certainly couldn't carry this off.

May I admit that I never understood this American custom?

Terry, why is it so wrong to wear white after Labour Day? And when can one start wearing white again?

Thanks!

Maybe a "summer habit"?LOL!! (After this heat and humidity, I am tempted to scrap the tunic/scapular...but God says otherwise!)
Love the socks; really does "justice" to the ensemble:<)!

He was told he had to wear a suit to the old Mass.

See, he's even carrying his Missal, autographed by da Z (ignore the cheesey smudges.)

E - it was an old rule - it is no longer in effect - as Patty Hearst tried to explain to Beverly. I'll have to look into it... it applied to men as well, until the advent of leisure suits and white paten leather shoes and matching belts in the '60's. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!! Why does that make me think of Larry on the golf course?

i think this guy is smartly dressed. i used to wear ties and shorts all the time; i wish i could tie a bowtie; maybe one day i'll figure it out. kudos to the man for style and guts!

The Crescat said...

he actually looks like some one I've been dating. Except he wears argyle socks, not solid.

LarryD said...

Terry - this is me on the golf course. No resemblance to your picture.

Thou shalt not date a man who has nicer legs thou...

Clearly by your photo Mr.D we can see why Mrs. D. puts up with you. ;)

The Crescat said...

Sara... I Know! I can't help but wonder if his legs look this nice what't the rest like.

I'm going to hell.

TRIPOD!
