    What Are You Reading

    I am currently reading "We Are Doomed" by John Derbyshire, a man who sees the glass not half-empty but three quarters-empty.

    It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!

    There is just something about Linus waiting in that sincerest of pumpkin patches that makes me tune in. I know what's going to happen, but I watch in case The Great Pumpkin actually appears.

    USA Members: I Need Your Help.

    I bought two copies at the new B&N on 46th & Fifth (Store # 2234). It is on display with GQ, Best Life, et al. in the magazine section. It is also located on a rack along the checkout line. BTW, the Magazine is FANTASTIC! I gave one copy to my secretary who is now looking for a fedora for...

    Our own vintage town

    While I like the second photo better than the first, I don't think that year-round hot weather would be too good for our ideal town. I do see this town as kind of a Bedford Falls with snow at Christmas and skating on the town pond. When not running the Water Department, I'd like to run a...

    Our own vintage town

    As your Water Commissioner, I will ensure that there are no eels in the water supply. I was also thinking about parades. We''ll need to have one for Decoration Day as well as festivities on The Fourth of July.

    Our own vintage town

    Then, we'll need a town drunk who sleeps it off in one of the two cells at the courthouse.

    Our own vintage town

    A few Spanish-American War Vets would make perfect crusty local characters.

    Our own vintage town

    Yes, with a small pond to reflect the moonlight. The drug store/soda fountain needs a wooden telephone booth and a good supply of comic books.

    Radio

    I am a huge OTR fan and would love to see more radio discussions. Capital idea!

    Our own vintage town

    I'd like to be the town Water Commissioner just like Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve. We'd need a police department, a fire department, garbagemen and a school system. A drug store/soda fountain would also be nice. I'd also like to see an independent department store.

    One Day in History

    Any summer Sunday in the late 1930s. I could bicycle over to Floyd Bennett Field and watch the planes take off in the morning. In the afternoon, I could catch the subway to Ebbets Field and watch the Dodgers play (and probably lose). At night, I could sit in the living room next to the RCA...

    BK, Great photo. Great Suits - even Hoare's! BTW, is Hoare wearing suede shoes in that photo?

    Pancakes, Waffles, Crepes or French Toast...?

    Breakfast is not my thing. Most days, I have a turkey sandwich (on a bagel) in the morning with some low sodium V-8 (with horseradish, worcestershire and tabasco).

    Manners & Etiquette

    I always get the door for a lady, whether it's in a building or on a motorcar. I always make sure that I stand behind the lady going up the stairs or in front of her coming down. I go through revolving doors first so that the lady does not have to make an effort to push the door. Sometimes...

    In your CD player right now...

    I was walking past the Burberry store on Michigan Avenue in Chicago on Tuesday and saw a large photo in its window of Bryan Ferry in a Single-Breasted Peak Lapel Tuxedo. Before long, I could not get 'Slave to Love" our of my head. When I got back home on Friday, I loaded Ferry's "Boys and...

    Ralph Lauren plaid suit

    Matt, the suit is stunning. I just love the peak lapels. Is this a Ralph Lauren Purple Label or is it a Blue Label piece? Do you know what year it is from? Samuel Hoare? Ugh! From Wikipedia: When Eden had his first audience with King George V, who is said to have remarked "No more...

    Cheesecake!

    This could be dialogue right out of a 30's movie. Brilliant!
