Power Struggle
Brian has been shopping, and tonight he wears a tie of lampblack with widely staggered brilliant blue stripes. The pilot announces their imminent landing at Dulles, and she tiredly slips her feet into her high heels. It won't be a pleasant meeting with the Senator, and she tries to remember the last time it was. At least Alphonse, the driver, will have her coffee waiting, as he always does, and a reassuring smile. She glances out at the lights on the runway, so colorful against the darkness of the early morning and the asphalt, and thinks momentarily of fireworks.

I agree, he's been shopping. I noticed all week he had new ties with broad stripes. Pleasant change.
@Bug - if you look closely they're all the same pattern, a slightly broader black stripe with, Monday an orange, Tuesday a red, Wednesday a purple and Thursday a blue stripe, slightly less broad.
Wonder what he'll wear Friday evening?
Bug & Necktie--Sigh. Stripes, stripes, stripes. Being gone most evenings lately for a variety of reasons has not caused me to miss much.
