Hats I Have Worn

in my life.

This is one of the best winter hats I ever had. It was leather with nice warm earflaps for the really cold days. It was doubly fab-looking when the flaps were up.

I lost this hat shortly after this picture was taken -- I think by leaving it behind in a bar. I'm not sure. I really miss this hat.

In this picture, I'm wearing an orange Soo Line hardhat with a silver "property of IBM" sticker on it. That's me up the pole.

My friends Dave Schmidt and Rich "Ferg" Ferguson are also shown in this picture -- Dave is on the ground with an orange hardhat, Ferg is on the ground next to him, his head is at shoulder level to Dave, and he's facing leftwards, towards me. I've still got that hard hat.

This was a great hat. It was like a floppy Dutch boy design, made out of an old pair of blue jeans. Sly Stone wore something like it at Woodstock. This hat served me well through seveal years, although eventually it fell into threads.

I don't think it's still around, although I intended to save it as a pattern to have another one made. It might be kicking around in a box somewhere in the basement. It was a cool hat, I think.

More to come. Looking back, it turns out I've worn a fair number of hats in my life.

If I had any heroes (using the term loosely, to include anybody I like much), their pictures might appear if you:
