- Owning a straw hat you can bow-tie under your chin so it doesn’t blow off…
- I wouln’t have minded chasing a flyaway hat when I was 20 …

- I would have been so cross with myself when I was 30 …
- Deciding that ironing a straw hat fell under the heading of “scientific experiment,” not “annoying drudgery”
- I was just learning how much that helped, back when I was 40 …
- Ironing that hat back to good-enough, knowing that I could crumple it up again with an easy conscience…
