William Howard Taft

December 1st, 2006

Tonight, in honor of my wife’s birthday, I will attempt to dress up like President William Howard Taft.

We’re throwing a party tonight with a vague “1910″ theme. (Our apartment building was built that year, you see, and almost nothing has been improved renovated in the building since then. So, essentially on dare, I will host the party as the 27th president of the United States.

To do: Find fake mustache. Find inaugural top hat. Find Vitalis or similiar hair oil, so as to achieve desired severe part in my hair. Find five-sizes-too-big, three-piece suit. Find pillow(s) to stuff into suit. Memorize as many facts about President Taft as possible.

I will post a recap — and perhaps a photo — after the conclusion of the party.
