Summer break over. Regular posts backatcha.
City swelter. New baby. Demanding day job. And that infernally addictive August “news” cycle. They all conspired to derail Short Shrifted recently.
I’d like to say it was something more carefree, glamorous, and globetrotting. The kind of stuff the well-dressed short bloke in this snapshot was accustomed to. Oh well. (But really, who has time to read this stuff in the summer anyway?)
That said, I’ll be returning to a more regular posting schedule in September. Just wanted you to have something to look forward to after Labor Day.

As they said to Mr. Kotter, “welcome back.” Great pic of the Duke and Pug. I used that photo in one of my posts but I focused on the Pug. Anyways, it looks like the Pug is in charge. I had no idea the Duke was 5′5″.

Alan – Good to be back. Enjoyed your pug post (hope the little guy is doing well these days). As to the Duke’s height, I’ve actually heard from other sources that it’s more like 5′7″ (though the Black Watch blogger did indeed say 5′5″). Either way, he qualifies for inclusion in Short Shrifted’s Pantheon of Famous and Sartorially Brilliant Men Throughout History.
Nahu – thanks, man. Appreciate it!

welcome back josh. the past month, i had the pleasure of returning back to my home, Singapore. A new shopping mall opened that featured a large topman store and a uniqlo (a few weeks later) needless to say, I stocked up on nice shirts and a sweater. uniqlo’s medium cardigans fit are a surprisingly good fit.
