    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The League is a film I want to enjoy but it's just not that good. It's starts well, but ultimately flounders and fails. The comics are interesting, to say the least, with some excellent artwork. As for myself the wife finally got me to set down and watch, My Fair Lady it was excellent.

    Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

    On the topic of strong coffee my grandfather, who is quite the coffee drinker, explained that the new Nitro Coffee that seems all the rage lately was too much coffee for him. I am admittedly apprehensive about trying any myself. From my own experience though I was surprised by the quality of...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Last night after my lovely wife and I shared a bottle of chianti (our toddler was very upset that we weren't sharing our tea with him), I decided to set down and enjoy a scotch and soda while we watched an episode of The Blacklist. Perhaps it was the effect of the wine but I may have poured...

    Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

    I reckon perhaps that pairing my palm leaf hat and a bottle of chianti makes as much sense as Dean Martin singing country and western music, which is to say (as Bob Hope observed) about as much sense as Gregg Allman giving Sonny Bono a welcome home party. But by golly some of Dino's country...

    What Are You Reading

    I found "Devil in the White City" to be a thoroughly excellent read. I enjoyed it immensely.

    Coffee, grind your own?

    I grind my coffee by hand each and every morning. Whether it goes in the boiler, the french press or the moka pot all depends on my mood. That said the default coffee served is boiled. It's served with heavy cream and sugar, or black.

    Bush Jackets

    Thank you for the share. It's keen to see one from WPG in action. I've thought of getting one myself.

    What are you listening to?

    Yesterday, almost exclusively I was listening to Dean Martin, either songs or clips from his show. This evening though, it's Steve Martin:

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    J&B Scotch and Soda yesterday, well, a few of them throughout the evening. After all, were he still alive it would have been Dean Martin's 100th Birthday.

    What coffee or tea did you drink today?

    Big Bend Coffee Roasters "Dark Skies" blend. A lovely Vienna roast that I set in my boiler on the stove this morning. By golly that was good.

    Some Wilkes No. 515 in my freehand corncob.

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Last night the smell of frying bacon, fresh simmering barbecue sauce, and baked beans fixed with that hickory smoked bacon and barbecue sauce (which is made strong coffee and ancho chiles, among other ingredients) produced an aroma that had me hankering for the smoky nectar of the gods that is...

    Thank you much.

    The very best image of yourself

    I reckon I've posted this photo somewhere on this forum before, and it is my avatar, but here is a photo from last year's Independence Day parade. One of my rare more photogenic moments, though I figure it's the horse and mountains more than me that makes the photo.

    What's for Dinner?

    I had baked beans for a friends wedding and forgot to double the sauce ingredients like I had the amount of beans. The result were beans so bland they may as well have been served dry. So I fixed a quick batch of pinto beans before the ceremony, and left the baked beans jarred at home in the...

    What are you listening to?

    A fantastic piece that I only recently learned was actually a poem set to a traditional tune. I know that is a fairly common practice, either way, this is one I enjoy listening to:

    Dating for Fedora Loungers?

    I am frequently surprised, or at the least find myself regularly pausing to just enjoy the fact that my wife actually appreciates me for who I am and what my interests are, more than that I find that many of our interests do overlap. After years of other relationships (girlfriends, friends, and...

    How you ever worn certain clothes to give others "the finger?"

    When I was younger my brother once I asked if I dress the way I do to bother him. I explained that I dress the way I do because I enjoy it, bothering him (now that I was made aware) was an added bonus... That's about the closest I've come to giving someone the finger by making the fashion...

    You Know You Live in a Small(ish) Town When...

    Main street is paved, and one or two others, but the vast majority of them are some combination of dirt or gavel. Honestly, I hope they don't pave more, partially because I enjoy small town living, but also because the paved ones end up in worse repair than the dirt roads. That is certainly...

    What are you listening to?

    A surprisingly excellent cover, that I find myself going back and listening to somewhat regularly.
