Happy No-Occasion Tuesday! This is one of those increasingly-rare dates when I have nothing special to note through my ties. It is Christiaan Huygens' birthday (1629-1695), so you could celebrate his invention of the pendulum clock or his improved eyepiece for telescopes. It is also International Moment of Laughter Day, which you could celebrate many times today. In our own family, today is noted as Shuttle Surprise Day, marking Beth's invention of a potatoes-onions-cheese frypan dish while we watched news about the safe return of the first space shuttle, Columbia, in 1981. So, my tie for today is this bright plaid on yellow, which I haven't worn since May, 2018. And in case you are interested, this is my post #2,485 in my tie blog -- yesterday started my 13th year of recording my neckwear selections.
