Winter is coming. My new black large powdery silkweight long underwear is sitting in a box on a truck in Portland, Maine.

“I am constantly disappointed by the caliber of men in Minneapolis. They lack integrity, intellectual initiative, intelligence and class.”
A plea for civility from the depths of Craigslist! Let’s get it together, gentlemen! The ladies are being “constantly disappointed”! For God’s sake, let’s try to remember the Four I’s (and One C)!

I was so disheartened by that last post regarding the “caliber of men in Minneapolis” that I felt like I had to do something personally. So I have hurriedly whipped up this proposal to demonstrate one method of counteracting these inaccurate perceptions. I propose that we men wear these jackets or jackets that are very, very similar to them when we go out to brunches at Hell’s Kitchen or wherever. They indicate that we, as Minneapolis men, believe deeply in the Four I’s (and One C). Because we do. We totally do. We are very high-caliber individuals. These jackets could be leather or satin. Possibly they could also be a low-cost leather- or satin-alternative material, depending on funding. Also, I accidentally wrote “intellectual integrity” instead of “intellectual initiative,” but the viewer would get the point, generally.
