What's He/She Like?

My last post about Beauty sent me down memory lane.  When I arrived in Houston as a new undergrad, I naturally developed friendships with others similarly situated. I was most fortunate to quickly develop a network that included fresh Houston transplants, established Houstonians and native Houstonians.

My vivid recollection of introductions for every single person I knew included my character/skills/traits/basic bio description.  Only when pressed did I add a physical description.  With many years of life and work experience, I hope that more and more people will choose to describe others by the beauty of their being, versus their superficial appearance.

No Boots on the Dock

Individuality is definitely a proud Texas characteristic.  I observed an extreme example of misplaced individuality last weekend.  We were fueling at a popular marina and watched two people shed their cowboy boots to enter a high dollar, air conditioned salon sport fishing boat.

Appropriate boat footwear includes:

• Barefoot
• Boat shoes
• Non Black Sole Marking Sandals

The boots came off as they entered and were quickly reclaimed at the dock. 

Boating, much like the corporate climate, requires dressing for the occasion.  When boats are involved, don't even bring boots to the dock.
