PJ Clarke's Packed for 120th Birthday Celebration
A ship's Captain who has been coming to PJ Clarke's for 60 years; an elderly couple from cross-town who had never been before; a thirty'ish couple, he in jeans and a blazer, she in a T Shirt and stiletto heels; a father guiding his two sons, one six with a crew cut, the other 12 wearing spiked hair, into PJ's for the first time; all came to Midtown Manhattan's East Side last Sunday to join in PJ Clarke's 120th birthday celebration. From the moment the dining room doors opened at 11:30 AM until the kitchen closed at 3:00 AM, burgers were the menu item of choice. Thousands were served along with Guinness, single malt and an occasional Coca Cola as PJ Clarke's, America's quintessential saloon, celebrated its founding in 1884 by an Englishman named "Jennings." Frank Sinatra sang Johnny Mercer's "One For My Baby" from the jukebox as the Terrier watched down on the festivities from atop the bathroom. Rocky Graciano's bigger than life smile played against the illustration on the Egyptian Cigarette...

The Work-from-home Fashion Primer
Last week, I reported how writers, stay-at-home parents and online marketing geeks had chosen careers as hermits: http://www.thehappyguy.com/hermit.htmlThousands of work-from-home hermits responded, confessing that they were wearing their pajamas while reading my column. Fortunately very few sent me photos. Here are some of the questions they asked:Q: Is it acceptable to wear pajamas at high noon if Nobody sees me, or am I committing a fashion faux-pas.A: It is totally acceptable to wear pajamas at high noon. You can even wear them at low noon. In fact, you can wear them all day long.
The only exception is in England you must not wear pajamas at tea time. Pajamas and tea don't mix. The combination can be lethal. (See the November 2002 report: "Spontaneous combustion among British work-at-home hermits.")Q: How should I handle "casual Fridays" in my workplace?A: I have replaced casual Fridays with "formal Thursdays...
