Yup! I do love the pocket 'T's.

Now, I hate ties as much as the next guy, but HEY I wear one every day. It just ain't a big deal to me. (I like restricting the blood flow to my brain)

That being said, some years ago the bank I worked for decided to go business casual. That meant that suit & tie were out..UNLESS you were meeting w/ a client. I po-po'ed it all. No biggie to me.
Then, I experienced the simple out of body joy of not "suiting up" every day.

As a friend once said to me: we are so smart that we get to wear a piece of useless cloth around our necks to look good & feel important.

I could easily forgo the tie, but HEY, I won't forgo dinner on the train... So, I shall bring a tie. It is a simple matter of priorities... (large grin)
