Thanks for the welcome. Love your avatar.
Regarding the JAcket. . . I beg to differ. Better for what?
Been living in these things for 30 years or so. In town, on the road. I've had the Khakis and the shooting jackets and the square pockets and the scalloped ones. Recently I got one of...
fear of morons
I don't particularly care for rain either, but it keeps fallin'. We're worried about guys who play dressup like athlete wannabes or Thomas Magnum wannabes and call us movie character wannabes? Ok. And the ones who go around with anime haircuts? Or express their individuality bu...

voices
NowL Kelsey Grammer (Rich, well trained baritone), Orson Wells (having done everything else you could do with speaking, seemed to take the largeness of stage, blend it with the intimacy of radio, and advance the art of the spoken word, not to mention the throat the man had). Oh yeah, you...
