Three New Bow Ties

I’m still trying to work out the design on the new store, but since I don’t have any real design skills I’m going to have to wait for someone to make something up for me.  But the store does seem to be working well.  I just added three new ties to it.  Here are the [...]

The Cordial Churchman Update

Good evening ladies and gentlemen.  This is the first time I’ve been on a computer for any length of time in a while.  A few days ago, my computer stopped working so it is now going to the apple hospital to hopefully be repaired.
I wanted to give you a bullet point-ish post though to remind [...]
