    Are full beards right out?

    There's a segment of bald and goatee'd IT guy, usually a server admin, that I always see (I used to be one). There's a sort of "IT Uniform", I guess I don't want to fall back into. Polo shirt, Dockers, Hey-these-are-black-tennis-shoes-so-they-must-be-work-appropriate footwear, wire-rimmed...

    So, I'mma be a dad. . . . . OMG!

    Excellent observations and stories, people. Keep 'em coming. Babydoll, congrats on your imminent arrival as well! One thing I'll mention that I read somewhere is not to immediately wash all of the baby clothes right away because you're bound to fall into a pattern of just a few outfits for...

    So, I'mma be a dad. . . . . OMG!

    Well, I have my cussin' pretty well under control. Except when I hit my finger with a hammer. I'm not afraid of a diaper. I've been on cat-cleanup-duty for a while. I think the final few months of pregnancy where my wife is tossing and turning and getting up every few hours is nature's...

    So, I'mma be a dad. . . . . OMG!

    My wife and I are expecting the arrival of our son on (or around) December 31. As such, I am reflecting on all the things I have to get under control to bcome a "dad". So far, in addition to all the things like finish installing flooring and trimwork in the house, here are the tasks I'm...

    Are full beards right out?

    reetpleat, I would tend to agree with you on most people. I, however ear a pair of pretty heavy framed specs. Big, chunky Persol tortiseshell ones that seem to cut my face pretty well. A few years ago, I wore these almost-not-there clear plastic frames that would have definitely not worked...

    Are full beards right out?

    Ahhhh, would that I could get that grey. Some day, I suppose. New baby on the way should expedite that.

    Are full beards right out?

    Seems it's time for my irregularly-semi-annual posting here. Seems to occur whenever I have a change in employment. Hah. I have recently started working for "the man" in Washintgon, D.C. and find myself ever conscious of the way people dress in this city. (here I thought working in the...

    Interested in a MK Falcon?

    I'm extremely interested. Wondering if anything in particular is stamped or etched into the bottom to set this apart as an MK original.

    Rules for wearing a straw hat

    And here I just bought my first hat. . . not just straw, but my first fedora. $20 straw at Jos. A Bank. It was a price I just couldn't pass up, for my first. I know it's not a classic, but as a bald man, I need all the coverage I can get. So, I only have until the end of the week to...

    Doctor's Bags

    "Vintage Cops", eh? I imagine seven or eight Keystone Cops in their late 80's tottering around the street with walkers and canes bumping into each other. lol

    The Elephant in the Room - Man Purse

    Does anyone have any photos of the J Peterman Counterfiet Mailbag? (http://jpeterman.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_1005_A_c_E_6_A_seq_E_70) My hesitation in ordering from them is just that I can't actually see the product before ordering. The catalog is pure joy to read, and I'm sure the products...

    Respective, Venomous Correspondence is not dead!

    Yes, I did. Blame the pre-coffee stupor. [huh]

    Respective, Venomous Correspondence is not dead!

    Aside from striving to dress "properly" and with a mind to decorum, I always try to make all written correspondence clear, consice and respectful. Whether it's a postal mail letter (which, sadly, occurs maybe twice a year) or an email, I think it's important to maintain certain mannerisms and...

    shirt garters?

    I now have this terrific image of a very well-dressed man all hooked up like a marrionette puppet. He raises his arm to hail a cab and his leg lifts up at the same time and kicks the man next to him. It could almost be a "Mr. Beanesque" comedy skit, eh? lol

    1952 Coldspot - Needs some TLC

    Haha, yeah. I have been busy. I've been immersed in the new job and all the remodeling. It was hard to paint over those bright colors. But we thought we might be selling and needed to neutralize them a bit. We decided not to move into the city. We do like the more "easy" color scheme...

    1952 Coldspot - Needs some TLC

    Hiding in the corner. I'll look for more pics later. All the purple, blue and orange are gone. I'm going to go for a more British Gentleman's den or library look soon. (Full gallery of the house remodel here) Anyhow, does anyone have any resources or experience in restoring old fridges...

    Hats with modern dress and a shaved head. . .

    So, for my first post, I thought I'd bring up two things I've been chewing on lately. I have recently started working in downtown Baltimore for a very large and executive-centric corp. That is, I'm around people with much higher pay grades than myself on a daily basis. As such, I've stepped...
