Today at Eastern Kentucky University we're recognizing the excellent work of Dr. Minh Nguyen, my friend and comrade in the philosophy department and the Honors Program. He is moving to the Honors College at Florida Gulf Coast University. Yesterday he bequeathed me with some of his ties, and I've chosen this one for today! The gold elements in its design remind me of the ropes and tassels on epaulets and bed canopies.
