Happy Birthday to my brother Mark Wollenweber! Mark manages seafood processing plants in Narragansett, RI, with connections to plants in mainland China and Peru. He chose this tie for me to wear today -- it was handmade in Guatemala -- with these words: "I think I’ve got to go with the Guatemalan maroon stripes. I do love me my Guatemaltecos in Rhode Island. Here’s to hoping they can stay." His company The Town Dock is "America's Leader in Calamari."
