I've been celebrating Amanda Wheeler's birthday with a special tie since 2009! Amanda is married to our son Ben. She asked me to wear this lion today because she loves wild animals and I hadn't worn this tie in a while. Our cat Portia Anne is the most leonine of the four cats in our house.

 Today I'm celebrating World Lion Day!

This lion makes a special appearance for no special occasion! It originally belonged to Gary Kuhnhenn, geology professor and former dean at Eastern Kentucky University. The tie is labeled "Simba" but I don't know if it has any connection to "The Lion King."
