Today is the birthday of my brother-in-law Mark Wollenweber, who lives some of the time in Rhode Island but spends much of his life traveling to commercial fisheries in China, Peru and Mexico. His career, as I understand it, is managing production and working conditions at many international locations hooked to distribution from Providence, Rhode Island. Beth thinks I should mention that he is very handsome. My tie features many different ocean fish.
The United Nations designates 2 May as World Tuna Day, "in order to raise awareness of the value of tuna, the threats facing tuna populations and the economic and social benefits of sustainably managed tuna stocks, and to share best practices in this regard." I have worn this tie displaying large ocean fish on World Tuna Day for several years, even though it does not include tuna. Always remember that you can tuna piano but you can't tuna fish.
For World Tuna Day, as is now traditional, I'm wearing my "ocean fish on navy" tie. It shows many large fish but does not include tuna. For those who recall Chicken-of-the-Sea advertisements, I'll say that I think this tie is in very good taste.
