Again you have entertained with your Basleresque story. What the heck was wrong with that teacher, though? Who squashes the chance for a student to ignite the creativity of his fellow students?
Another winner, and even better than usual with Christopher in a starring role this time! We are so glad a great writer and storyteller is also our neighbor!
A gem of a story, Bob, with many sparkling facets. Despite this, I find myself inordinately obsessed with your offhand mention of a “White House dessert room.” A Wonka-like wonder has descended over me as I try to imagine the glorious contents of that room.
That's the thing with women! I can't imagine the expense and time to choose wardrobes for prominent ones. (Though Hillary wearing that 3 years in a row is kind of hard to believe! At least you Basler men made an effort with the TIES!) Men can wear the identical suit a hundred times, and no one notices. My dad had a green and red vest he wore at Christmas time. 1950s and 60s. (We had small closets!) It's the only piece of clothing my mother saved when he died. When she died, I saved it, too.
Yeah, there is that. What I was wondering is, do you think she had the outfit dry cleaned, or did she just toss it on a chair until the next Christmas? Do you think she at least changed her undergarments?

Wow. Basleresque! I've made it! I feel all Kafkaesque inside! Thank you, Vicki!
Great story Bob. Christopher's teachers lacked any sense of humour. Merry Christmas to you all.
ps Do you still have the tie?
yes, Trixie. the close-up photo I used with the story was taken a couple of weeks ago...

Hey, it's great for me to know my neighbor has such great taste! Thanks, as always...

Wonderful story, Bob! Glad you had pictures to back it up, because without them....well, come on.
I trust that science teacher has left the profession. What a waste of "the golden teachable moment".
By the way, I'll double what your friend offered for that tie.
Sweet Christmas story, Bob, but the doofus science teacher deserves to be named in a sequel 5 am story when we least expect it.
Love everything about this one. Good thing Hillary changed her hair style each year.
Yeah, there is that. What I was wondering is, do you think she had the outfit dry cleaned, or did she just toss it on a chair until the next Christmas? Do you think she at least changed her undergarments?
