Check with Gfeller's I would suggest checking out Gfeller's. I have their moleskine cover and a couple of other items and they are high quality. Cheers, PR

Almost I was a student member while at university, but never got around to doing what I needed to do to move on up to full membership. They didn't consider my exploration of the Sigma Kappa house a proper expedition, though it was one exciting and taxing adventure!;) I did consider joining...

James Bond was a Metro... At least one person, and I agree with him, has described James Bond as a Metro. What Would James Bond Do? Cheers, PR

Custom Hide 1945 US Army Laptop Briefcase Hello, I just put one if the classifieds if anyone is interested. Cheers, PR

Hello, I am selling a Custom Hide 1945 US Army Laptop Briefcase which I purchased about a year ago to replace my other bag. It is exactly the same as the 1945 US Army Laptop example that they have posted on their site in the whiskey color. They retail on the site for $299 plus shipping but...

Baron, I agree with you, some of the brightest and most inquisitive minds I have ever met were during my academic years. But I wasn’t so blind as to see those same minds heavily weighted by the rigors of the adminisphere (def – the lofty space above where all of those inane but important...

I know a number of us here are frequent travelers – I myself log more the 50,000 air miles every year. Looking at the list of best and worst airports it is pretty obvious that a number of us spend quite a bit of time on the road and in those wonderful locations we call airports. It used to be...

I have had a dopp bag for a while, but got sick of cleaning it out, digging through it, and it just generally taking up space in a cramp hotel bathroom. What I really want a Dhobi kit - something that has some class and character and that I can hang in a bathroom! I know J. Peterman used to...

Hey...That's my bag! Love it! PR

Another vote for Custom Hide I purchased a customized laptop 1945 Army Briefcase from Custom Hide last year and it is the best bag I have ever bought. When ever I travel, which has been frequently, I am always stopped in airports, hotels, and even on Madison Ave by people asking me where I...

Great example and I agree, nice handwriting. I wish mine was that nice. Somewhere, I have a cursive practice sheet that my wife gave me for adults from a Martha Stewart article on how to improve your hand writing. I need to dig that out and start practicing. Just out of curiosity, since I...

RIP Mr. President I had the pleasure of meeting and speaking with the man on a couple of occasions, a wonderful gentleman to the end. He often offered to speak for free at Boy Scout fund raising breakfasts, and since I am an Eagle Scout (like Mr. Ford) and was an adult Scout leader in Colorado...
