Congrats Todd. Sounds like a really good thing. All things considered.
About the tie. Blame it on King Frederick the Great of Prussia. On a cold
winter morning he saw a company of his soldiers drilling out in the cold.
They all had very runny noses. He devised the tie to keep the front of their
uniforms clean. It sort of stuck around long after Prussia.
