Yesterday, at the end of a very moving ceremony marking Tibetan National Uprising Day, a Buddhist monk presented each of the speakers with a small Tibetan flag and a Tibetan prayer shawl. I was very honored to receive his blessing.

This morning, at the conclusion of a groundbreaking ceremony for a new 100-room boutique hotel on the Downtown Mall, I donned a hardhat and participated in a ceremonial dirt-toss with the hotel's developers.

It's official. I've become one of those politicians who wears things.

Politicians who wear things are much preferable to politicians who should, and don't, and make the worst kinds of headlines.
I think you need to keep a collection of the many hats - and scarves, etc. - that the mayor of Charlottesville gets to wear. I think you could create a terrific 2009 calendar showing the many hats month by month from the previous year for your calendar photos. I will buy one and you can put the proceeds toward whatever is your choice of projects that next year. - Peter T. Kleeman
(Insert tounge in cheek sarcastic comment about mixing religion and politics.)
On the other hand, I imagine anyone would be so honored.
As for wearing things... I, too was shocked to see that power tie around your neck!
Yeah, I clean up pretty well, huh bro? Who woulda thunk it.
