If my ties could talk, they’d have a story to tell. Tie #1.  Purchased at Target, 1998. Paid for by my mother. 1999: Atlanta, GA My second teaching job. Still, my first tie. If my tie could talk, it would tell you that it was the first tie that I (Evan) ever picked out for myself – meaning, not a hand-me-down from my old man. I was heading off to grad-school overseas. My mother took me to Target and treated me to $250 worth of baggy jeans, camp shirts, and a few “nice things”
