Sign of the ties (sic)

Feb 26, 2008

I’ve been at Duke Medicine for six months now, which means I’ve worn a tie nearly every work day since I started, a distinct departure from the Hawaiian shirts I used to wear at UNC-CH. (Dad, my birthday is coming up: send a new Aloha shirt, please, and I’ll find an occasion to wear it.)

This morning, Malia surprised me by asking to pick out a tie to go with my purple shirt. She chose the pink-and-purple polka dotted tie. Anna, meanwhile, was worried that buttoning the top button was going to make the shirt too tight around my neck.
