I anted to stop him and ask him about it, but he wasd with a young lady at the time, so I let them pass.<BR/><BR/>Later gthat same day, at Harvard Square, I was in a queue for coffee, standing behind this very same chap. I had to ask him about the tie (and I, as always, was wearing a bow tie, so baturally we had a base to touch). He told me he was an architect and affirmed precisely the reason why he wears them: theuy do not flop onto the plans when he's trying to describe his ideas to clients.<BR/><BR/>Intensely practical, when you thikn about it (as with surgeons and doctors: a bow tie does not "fall into", or on to, the patient).Ray Frenshamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102271184582937704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-60416867617183263052009-02-14T23:59:00.000-08:002009-02-14T23:59:00.000-08:00Well it's Le Corbusier on the left, and as for the...Well it's Le Corbusier on the left, and as for the one on the right...The Other Gothamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04875575576684484068noreply@blogger.com
