1 February 18

My calendar notes that today marks the date in 1709 for the rescue of the shipwrecked sailor whose story was the source for "Robinson Crusoe" by Daniel Defoe. It's also the birthday of Clark Gable (1901-1960). I'm marking the day by debuting another Christmas gift tie -- one of eleven! -- a diagonal plaid design with colors close to those of the Lamont Ancient Tartan. Thanks to Rachel and David Haskins!
