    What's a good entry-level single malt?

    I love drinking Jack Daniels neat, but it's been my drink for a long time and I'm looking to branch out and try scotch. I've always found the charcoal taste in scotch a bit much, so what is a good scotch to start out with? Something that won't turn me off and I can develop a palette for. Price...

    Great BBC series re food and lifestyle - Edwardian, 1920s, Wartime, 1950s etc

    Growing up as I did in Europe, drinking from an early age was no big deal. We had wine almost every night at the dinner table, with the children drinking about 1/4 wine and the rest water until we got older. Beer was consumed pretty liberally throughout history for the reasons you mention, not...

    How did you find the lounge?

    I was looking for workboots, similar to the ones worn by Indiana Jones. One thing led to another and I found this site ( as well as COW) and an obsession was born.

    Hat color for navy blazer

    I think any hat will go with navy. It depends on what else you're wearing with it that would decide it for me. Casual, or more dressed up?

    What are you listening to?

    I recently started to get into Bluegrass, and just discovered a band called Crooked Still which I really like.

    Facebook anybody?

    I just don't get the whole "addicted to Facebook" thing. I haven't checked my account in weeks.

    Great BBC series re food and lifestyle - Edwardian, 1920s, Wartime, 1950s etc

    Interesting twist for a series. Reminds me of the PBS series that we had over in the U.S. One was called Frontier House, about a group of families living like pioneers in the 1870's. I've watched Edwardian House from the BBC and thought it was excellent. I wouldn't have wanted to be one of the...

    I need a new wallet

    I recommend Mulholland Brothers: http://shopmulholland.com/catalog.htm?Line=Wallets&Gender=Male I have several of their products, from weekend duffles to checkbook covers, and they're all made to last. Most wallets are available in black as well.

    When did the Slide Toward Casual Begin in Earnest?

    I'm no expert, but I'm betting the 1960's really kicked the slide into high gear, and the 70's put the nail in the coffin.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Watched "Truman" last night, about the life of the president. Very well done, with great hats and wardrobe.

    The Art of Shaving store

    It's not the harm per se, as it is pretentious. Better to say, "welcome, would you like a shave today?" I work in advertising/marketing, so I know about "branding," and that line would put me off as well.

    The Art of Shaving store

    Marketing baby, gotta love it. I recently found a shop here in Reno in the same shopping center as my local Costco that offers old fashioned haircuts and straight razor shaves without the slick marketing. Much more my speed. There's also a shop in Chicago that offers straight razor shaves...

    Time's Top 10 Things We Miss About the Mad Men Era

    Odd to think people are growing up these days without ever knowing that people caring about their appearance was the rule, not the exception.

    Finances in the Golden Era and today

    The above is not off topic btw because I've been thinking a lot lately about how I can simplify my life, walk more, and live more frugally, or as the OP would say be more "money conscious."

    Finances in the Golden Era and today

    I read a book a while back by James Howard Kunstler called "The Long Emergency: Surviving the End of Oil Climate Change, and Other Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-First Century" that discusses this very point and how we need to get back to walkable communities. Very thought provoking stuff...

    Finances in the Golden Era and today

    What about cars? I find transportation costs to be very high, one reason being that one needs to drive everywhere these days. Communities just are not as small as they once were. I went without a car for 12 years in San Francisco and loved it. When I lived outside Denver in Boulder however I...

    Finances in the Golden Era and today

    Yes, you're a freak:D But my hat's off to you anyway. I aspire to be debt free and live your frugal lifestyle, but the economy isn't cooperating.

    Obama, Cameron and Shoes.

    Not a blowtorch, just a match to heat up the polish. And yes, my father learned it in the military. Don't even think about trying it if you don't know what you're going. The polish is like napalm once it's heated.
