    What is your biggest vice?

    My plebeian palate is quite sated most Kentucky lower end glass; single malt Scotch a bit above and beyond, however I do favor Peruvian, Costa Rica, and Jallisco coffee all ground at my favorite breakfast shop, Beverly Bakery, 105th Western Avenue, Chicago. I've had Kona, sipped at Kaneohe Beach...

    White Tie to Prom Take Two

    Carl: I'll second Brendond, and your elegant sartorial eye speaks a maturity I wish I had possessed at seventeen. Whilst taciturn about self, please however do tell us about future scholastic goals.

    The Era -- Day By Day

    This dovetails my personal theory on why the Irish are the real lost tribe of Israel. Moses was the first guy to break all Ten Commandments. AND, he did it all at once. ...only an Irishman could do that. Period, end of discussion. :D

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

He ordered both of his assassins killed. Also his houseboy...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Omnia mors aequat. Death equals all. I read that book about the Brooklyn Bums banishment to Los Angeles you recommended, and, upon further reflection I came to a less singular-more-collective belief, ba***rd leprechaun O'Malley undoubtedly was and may he rest in perpetual turmoil.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Please allow assurances that my admiration for this Tuscan beauty is chaste and pure as driven snow. Whatever pneumatic somatic issues which may exist are ancillary and quite irrelevant to her innate charm, wit, and overall abundant sweetness.

    The Ernest Hemingway Thread

    In the interest of literary probity and adherence to earlier editorial manuscript rejection, the two pieces are not cojoined twins but separate manuscripts writ apart, with the latter quickened published decades later without any authorization from Harper Lee who suffered dementia prior to her...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Inspector Morse drove his own Burgundy Mark II Jaguar which brought in 100,000 British lbs sterling on Ebay; once trolled EbayMotors for a Jag, refined search to high end dealers not likely to accept trade in junk. Found a '94 XJS Jaguar convertible at McGrath-Lexus in Chicago for $5,200 flat...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    And from the World's Greatest Newspaper's snow blanket quilt covered town, Chicago: ....we are really getting clobbered like Clabber Girl baking soda poured, not just sprinkled all over town... MacArthur's straight leg non-Airborne Infantry aren't paratroops so defense rests. It ain't even...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    And did the Sunday edition ever have heft. I lugged those papers along South Paulina Avenue, couldn't wait to get home to consume the comics. And, in sixth grade I read the paper too.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Hey Wig, Welcome to the Lounge. A 1952 film, What Price Glory? features James Cagney in a World War I US Marine Corps tale wherein the said sweater is worn; although the famed garb's sartorial uniform provenance is unknown to me, it definitely dates back to the Second World War. I recall...

    What Are You Reading

    Several years ago I rode the Rock Island 5.35 Blue Island Express down to Beverly Hills with a federal judge who recounted a visit by the Japanese counsel concerning reparation payment to an American pow held captive by Japan.

    The Era -- Day By Day
