Thanks, MB5, those are some good ideas. I've been looking at what's out there and I'm not really satisfied with what I see. I'm sourcing doctor's satchels now. I think it's very doable. I'm having trouble finding an ice bucket that has a latching top, though. That may prove tricky. Dean

One thing I've been almost wearing everyday is a pair of sock suspenders. My kids think I've absolutely lost my mind but I cannot stand to have my socks falling down. If I'm in shorts and tennis shoes, I wear anklet socks..no chance of them falling down! But until about two months ago, I still...

Yes, Across the Pacific is a great movie. Bogart can do no wrong, as far as I'm concerned! I'm excited because my copy of Howard Hughes' Hell's Angels just showed up in the mail today! Hopefully in a few minutes I'll be settled in my chair watching it! I've never seen it but I've heard it's...

I go to my barber for two reasons. 1) It's a small Mom and Pop...actually, it's just a Mom. An old fashioned one-seater. You become almost like family with the barber and she knows how I want my hair. 2) She shaves my neck with a straight razor and that warm shaving lather that smells soooo...

I'm sorry. I tried to wade through this thread....all 34 pages of it!!! But after about a dozen pages, I gave up. So then I started from the end, working my way backwards. That's not working, either. My question is: I see that some were working on a custom order for an SA Casablanca. What...

Wow! That would really be something! I hope you'll keep us posted. Dean

Here's a thought I've been kicking around for some time now. Perhaps someone here has some helpful tips. I've been thinking about a bag, preferably like a medical doctor's satchel with some specially made compartments that turns the bag into a roving bar. It would need a padded compartment...

Beautiful!! I'm working on a flintlock, myself, though I have no pretensions that it will be anywhere near that gorgeous. :( Is that Beretta any relation to the current manufacturer? Dean

Most of the time when I put on a button up shirt, I also put on a tie. And I refuse to wear a short sleeve button-up with a tie! I do have some short sleeve button-ups with various prints on them, which I'll wear, sans tie. ;) I guess I'm really talking about a plain colored button-up with a...

I need to take some better pictures, but here's one of my S&W M1917. It's one of the new re-issues. I love it...the full moonclips make reloading as quick as an automatic, and it has loads of style. Dean

I have to admit that I, too, have done the short sleeve, tie, jacket thing. I never did like it and have long since stopped doing it. My short sleeve shirts mostly just hang in my closet, slowly disintegrating. I'm glad to hear that so many others feel the same way about that look...I thought I...

You may be right Nathan, I was there then. Actually, I'm still at USC, finishing up the last two classes I need for my SLIS. I'm sorry, though, I don't recognize your name. Have you found gainful employment in our field? I work in a public school system, just what I intended. I guess I'm...

My favorite is Wild Turkey, on the rocks. Cheers! Dean

MK, I agree that it's a shame. Doesn't really matter how he died. On a slightly different note, it's interesting how many of my "heroes" were serious drinkers. Bogie, Hemingway, Hunter S. Thompson. Does artistic greatness require lubrication, do you think? It seems like many great...

Actually, he smoke himself to death. He died from throat cancer. Dean
