Journal: 1/06/06

I wore a new light blue v-neck sweater to school yesterday, with a tie, and received a surprising number of compliments about it. Every so often, someone would suddenly say something like, “Ham, that sweater looks so nice on you”, or “What a pretty color that is.” It occurred to me, toward the end of the day, that nothing like that had happened to me in years. I just go about my business as a teacher, not expecting anyone to notice my clothes, so receiving effusive compliments, especially so many, was a startling, and very pleasant, experience for me.
