Tune in to CityLine on Sunday to see my Awesome Tie

So, yesterday was a busy day.  I taped a radio interview with Air America's "State of Belief" program which will be airing sometime this weekend, and even more fun, I went to WCVB (channel 5 in Boston) studios in Needham to tape a segment of their Sunday talk show CityLine about the Sotomayor nomination and Holy Hullabaloos.  I've been on TV a few times before, most notably the segment that Nightline did on me and my very important groundbreaking earthshaking idiotic Supreme Court oral argument humor study a few years ago, but I've never taped anything in a studio.  Pretty cool, especially these weird robotic cameras that seem to move by themselves (I assume--also hope--that someone is controlling them).  I think the interview with Karen Holmes Ward went well.  I suppose it all turns on whether the weird nervous twitching feeling I kept having in my left eye is visible on camera or not, so make sure to look carefully for that if you tune in Sunday at noon.  The highlight of the interview, however, took place off camera, when Karen told me that I was wearing a "great TV tie."  It's so great getting a compliment on a tie anytime and from anyone, but to get one from a TV host is particularly sweet.  Not that this is the first time I've gotten a compliment from a prominent person on the tie, which is a pink and purply patterned thing that really "pops" from Nordstrom where I went last fall to meet my high school girlfriend to go shopping (don't ask).  Indeed, I've received compliments on this beauty from a justice on the Massachusetts Supreme Court and the sommelier at Per Se, a super crazy good restaurant in New York where I went for my 40th birthday.  I'm actually considering wearing the tie every single day, whether I'm wearing a suit or not.  In fact, I wore it to the red sox game last night, which may be why I got beat up so bad in the beer line.  Actually I didn't wear the tie to the baseball game last night, and also I didn't get beat up in the beer line.

But in any event, if you want to check out this awesome tie for yourself, CityLine airs Sunday at 12 noon on WCVB Channel 5 in Boston.
