I was walking through Circuit Court in Towson today when I passed a gentleman wearing a seersucker jacket. I complimented him, naturally, but it got me thinking again about the legendary but elusive ”Full Towson,” the summer suit accessorized by white shoes and a white belt. The Full Towson, you could say, has become my white whale.

I’m keeping my hopes realistic this summer of spotting a Full Towson. But if you see one, or any white linen or seersucker for that matter, please let me know.

(Bonus points if you see anyone sporting the three-piece seersucker suit, a la noted defense lawyer Atticus Finch, left.) Photos are welcome.

Happy beautiful Monday! I hope your job takes you outside for at least 10 minutes today to enjoy this weather.

I’m not sure I agree with Danny DeVito as Antonin Scalia, but the rest are at least plausible, though Bebe Neuwirth would have to be playing a much younger Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
• Is Sotomayor racist? No way, says Ron Miller. He writes in part: “I also find it incredibly annoying to pretend that having minority pride and making boastful statements about your own minority class is the same as a white person saying the same thing about white people. It is just not.” Do you agree?
