Sand And Sky

Brian returns to a stripe tonight, this one the sand-and-sky number that is not a favorite among Tie Report Readers. I am ambivalent; the blue is pleasant enough, and the dove/buff/taupey color is innocuous and neutral. After the statement made by last night's cravat, almost anything--save a green tie--would have been anticlimactic. I admit to more than a bit of trepidation with regard to Thursday's tie. We are overdue for (dare I even mention it?) the lavender solid tie of despair.
