Why yes, I WAS wearing a Christmas tie yesterday. Thanks for noticing.
Despite the fact that I'm smack dab in the middle of “Jim's Weirdest Week Ever (Or At Least Jim's Weirdest Week Ever (So Far))” and despite the fact that the holidaze are a month and a half away, I was wearing a Christmas tie yesterday. Why, you ask? Well, I answer, you remember how I mentioned I had to go shoot an episode of “High School Bowl” yesterday?
Well, it was the episode that'll air right before Christmas. So, you know, I had to be dressed appropriately.
It was especially interesting since after I did the shoot I had an appointment to get a flu shot, and when I walked into the pharmacy I had a couple of people stare at me like I was just a bit off-kilter. Now, I get those looks all the time; usually, I'm not quite sure why. But yesterday was one of the few times when I DID know why.
After all, how many people wear a Looney Tunes Christmas tie at the beginning of November?
(And yes, if I'm going to wear a Christmas tie, you'd better believe it'll be a Looney Tunes tie).
Thankfully, the only reason I was decked out in holiday attire was because of the show. I actually know a couple of people who, as soon as the curtain falls on Halloween, go into full Christmas mode, putting their tree up, cranking up the tunes, and hoping the snow soon begins. And while I don't begrudge them their love of Christmas, for me it's just a little too soon.
In fact, once I took my Christmas tie off last night (before I hosted the “American Revolution” thing for NMU Public Media), I made a vow not to think about it for the next month or so. But that's just me.
Your timing may vary.

(ps—speaking of that thing for NMU Public Media, it went quite well, thanks for asking. Now I just have 3 interviews today, another “High School Bowl” tomorrow, and a jaunt to Escanaba Saturday, and we can finally call it a wrap on “Jim's Weirdest Week Ever (Or At Least Jim's Weirdest Week Ever (So Far))”
Assuming, of course, I make it through these last three days.)
