Zarah Leander "I know she wasn't on our side"
Zara Leander It's funny, I love the music of germany from the Weimar ear through the 1940s, but I have never "got" Zara Leander. I know she was the most popular German songbird during the war, but she just leaves me a bit cold. I much prefer Lilian Harvey, or even others such as Marika... -
This American Life
On Cable I am also a fan of 'This American Life' (as well as 'Fresh Air'), and catch the radio show most weeks on NPR. They have also been running the series on Showtime, and if you have On Demand, can watch the episodes at your leisure. -
Show us your Guns!
That could well be. I got my Mauser in 1993 from a gun show. I can report that I have not broken its extractor since then, but who knows what may have happened to its bolt in the 48 years preceding? Actually, I had heard that when U.S. soldiers collected weapons from the surrendering...- jawisher

Show us your Guns!
Thank you! My favorite thing about this shooting jacket is that it is belt-back. Unfortunately, it is a 1970's belt-back shooting jacket, not a 1930's one... [huh]- jawisher

MEN'S PAJAMAS and DRESSING GOWNS
I actually own two night-shirts, and I'll attest that they are the most comfortable pajamas to sleep in. You can find them at Nordstrom, in nice light-weight cotton, and they aren't too expensive.- jawisher

MEN'S PAJAMAS and DRESSING GOWNS
I also agree. I do wear pajamas, mainly to lounge in. There is nothing more comfortable to wear around the house when relaxing.- jawisher

Your signature cocktail.
For me, it has to be a dry Sapphire martini with three olives. I know it's my signature drink, because I know that all of my friends would be able to tell you that.- jawisher

Where are the good Italian Restaurants????
'Olive Garden'? Anyone else? Just kidding... My mom's Sicilian. I haven't yet found the restaurant that beats her kitchen. Granted, there are a lot of places mentioned above that I haven't tried yet.- jawisher

What is your biggest vice?
I have plenty of vices, but my least favorite is my over-indulgence of food. I think at least half of my food intake is just sort of mindless passing of time. It's really pretty useless as vices go: not all that interesting, it doesn't lend itself to entertaining anecdotes, and I don't even...- jawisher

Gin Lovers Unite!
I am definitely an enthusiastic Bombay Sapphire fan. I won't say that I can't drink anything else, but I can say that I like nothing better. I did try something new the other day, on a whim at BevMo: 'Broker's Gin'. The label with the London-banker logo was appealing, and it was touted for...- jawisher

Russian re-enacting.
Hmm. East Germany was a client, puppet state occupied by the Soviet Union. I think it is fair to characterize all East German policy, including the Berlin Wall, was "Soviet policy". As far as Putin, well, he is a well-known anti-democratic ruler, with designs on expanding Russian power. I... -
Show us your Guns!
My favorite, and favorite thing to shoot, is my Mauser K-98. All matching parts (except the bolt), and 1943 dated. There are many like it, but this one is mine.- jawisher

What are you listening to?
Right now and all this week, I've been listening to Frank Sinatra singing with Tommy Dorcey's orchestra. I especially adore their version of 'Blue Skies', with the band chorus singing these wonderful counterpoint lines like, "Sunshine everwhere, and everybody's happy as a square at the fair!"... -

Strange way to wear a tie..
This was probably not worn that way on purpose. That has actually happened to me once or twice when I've tied a rather short tie with a full-windsor knot, and have the whole thing spill out of my jacket when I've turned the wrong way. Anyway, I at least hope this was not the look he was going...- jawisher
