Much of our free time was spent "up North." We camped, fished. hunted, hiked in and around Lovells. It was a terrific getaway. By car it was about 2 1/2 hours from home . Our pets enjoyed the outings and traveled in the backseat.
I recall a particular business meeting across town. It was just run of the mill. But, afterwards I was drafted into providing return transportation. I was embarrassed to see my passengers exit the car, in their charcoal, pin-striped suits and navy cashmere topcoats covered in white dog hair.
This "unofficial" dress-code faux pas was a more egregious sin than wearing a sports coat and slacks instead of the customary suit.
