My oldest son left today for Kauai, Hawaii. He is headed back for his 10 year high school reunion. That’s when you know you are not getting younger!
David doesn’t do ‘formal’ and really, Kauai doesn’t do formal – unless it’s your wedding day or prom night. One of the evening functions however, is ‘black tie’ – this is David’s agenda:

A conformist he is not! But I haven’t really figured out what statement he is trying to make – or not! And he asks me for the uptiumth time – why does it have to be about statements?!

statements - or lack thereof ?

deep in thought
It doesn’t – I just wanna know, is it Hasidic Jew or Amish? or not?!
I think my curiosity arises from the visual profile he is creating versus his belief system and that is where I am getting confused; however, the rest of the world doesn’t know about the possibility for conflict here – won’t they be surprised when what they see is not what they are going to get?
