I admit it. I lay it on very thick satorically at times, but sometimes it just seems the right thing to do.
I had chest pains early Wednesday morning. It was a bit scary and after calling my doctor, I went to the emegency room at a nearby hospital. They thought it might be serious and I was kept there 10 hours, hooked up to an IV and a heart montoring device while they did various tests including x-rays, blood work and a nuclear stress test. After everything was completely negative, they concluded it was a muscle strain and let me go.
They were surprised when they suggested I wear sweat pants for my test on the treadmill and my wife said I owned none. I just wore my suit trousers. When I fully dressed again after being told I was being discharged, the nurse took one look at me and said: "Wow!" I had worn a red/white stripe on navy Oxxford suit, a minature red check Robert Talbott shirt, a red/black foulard Michelson of London tie, and black C&J handgrade shoes.
I had chosen this ensemble to wear to the hospital thinking of the last behavior of Benjamin Guggenheim. On learning that the Titanic was definitely going to founder and that there were only enough lifeboats for most of the women and children, he and his valet returned to their staterooms and donned their best evening wear. On his return to the top deck, he said: "We are now dressed in our best and determined to go down like gentlemen."
