Give 43 compliments to men

i’m tamtusi.

I am going to actively start working on this. It’s one of those things that clear themselves up in short order if actually worked on.

last Saturday. I played for a concert and complimented the solo violist, the principal bassist, and the guitarist. Since then I’ve complimented the composer. Also complimented several women and K., whom I stopped counting for this goal.

On Tuesday I complimented my supervisor (again) on an article of clothing. I am not a suckup, actually.

today, quite spontaneously, I complimented a stranger on the streetcar on his pendant. It was a small wrench. I asked him if he ever has people ask to borrow it. He said that yes, he does.

quite inadvertently, I complimented a student this morning on his haircut.

Todd S. seems to think I have another one I can count, but I can’t find it.

Just realized, I complimented my dad this morning.

Totally counts!

I complimented Darryl yesterday on his new fashionable glasses.

unusually, NH wore an argyle sweater. I complimented him on that.

That would be 35.

I told him I appreciate how focused and professional he is.

I have certainly complimented other men on appearance-related things since my last post, and probably a few on their skills or character… but I don’t remember who.
