    King Vidor's Big Parade

    One of those channels i regularly watch is TCM because its really classic movies. On Memorial Day they ran a silent classic in King Vidor's Big Parade. It is the story of a vacant idle son of American affluence coming of age in the War to End All Wars. To help set its scene, it displayed a...

    Is DXing A Thing Of The Past?

    Unfortunately, yes, I believe it is. I have been a SWL for as long as I remember, first on a large GE "portable" then upon a Yaesu FRG 8800 and upon the Sangean portable currently sitting on my credenza. I have an outdoor longwire, but, alas, there isn't much to listen to anymore. I miss Radio...

    Blended vs. Single Malt

    Glenlivet mostly, I just got a bottle of 15 year old that is very good. I also like Macallan, as well. As for blends, I like Famous Grouse and Dewars. My sin is that I almost always take them on the rocks.

    Hallowed Ground

    With Memorial Day having just passed, I wanted to post this link. This was on PBS on Monday and I had recorded it and just got to watch it this morning. It brings the 40's into focus. http://www.pbs.org/hallowedgrounds/ I studied in England in the late 70s and got a chance to visit the...

    The Laws of Fashion

    I am a practicing lawyer in Middle Tennessee. I have been practicing for 26 years June 3rd, first in Indiana and now in Tennessee. I thought it might be simply advancing age, but I must say the standards of dress and decorum in court have dropped dramatically over my career. I still wear a suit...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Then, this evening for casual, one of my favorites: This is a Saxson that I picked up a couple weeks ago and have reshaped a bit. It's very light felt and is reshaped easily. It has some moth bites in it, but is great for casual.

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Well, as I said, I found it compelling for some reason. It looks as though it's in good condition so I'm eager to see it in person and see what it looks like on me. I splurged and bought two others this week, but I am done for a while. Here are the other two...

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=370199429838 I'll be interested to see this when it comes. I'm not sure what I'll do with this nor how it will look on me, but I found it compelling, couldn't resist and the price was right.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    This was this morning. A Bailey Shantung fedora that is well worn, having been wet, and I mean really wet and dirty from wear. I got it back a couple weeks ago from Drew at CleanaHat.com, who cleaned, reshellaced and put a new band on it. While it doesn't look pristine and new, it looks a world...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Bob, my avatar shows it on my head, but admittedly, not well. I'll see what I can do. In the meantime, after work I went out to see the horses and ride a bit so I wore this. It's a Stetson Roll Up, straw cowboy hat that my mother-in-law bought for me in Marble Falls, Texas about 7...
