    Alright... Alright! What's Covid-19 making you binge watch????

    Not quite binge watching, but I've been watching two episodes a day of Leave it to Beaver on ME-TV every morning with my coffee. They started season one just around the time quarantine kicked in, so I'm watching them all in order. I know its corny, but I still love that show.

    tom collins

    Tom Collins or gin and tonic are my go-to summer drinks, and you're right, it's shocking how many bartenders or waiters don't know what it is. This is the recipe I've used for years: 2 oz gin 3/4 oz lemon juice 1/2 oz simple syrup top with club soda over ice You can play with the ratio of...

    Coronavirus: What Vintage Skills Can Help Prepare for a Potential Pandemic?

    The person in front of me at BJ's last night spent $2,300 - he had three carts full of Lysol wipes, Kleenex anti-viral tissues, and food staples. He said he's planning for 4-months of isolation in his own home to escape the virus. While I think the media is partly to blame for blowing this out...

    The ONE Celebrity (Living or Dead) You'd Give a Body Part to Have Dinner With?

    Ted Williams. Between his years of military service and his years during the golden age of baseball, I bet he could tell some great stories.

    Your first job

    Not counting a paper route, first job was washing dishes and floors, and scrubbing the grill at our local diner, freshman year of high school for minimum wage, which I believe was $3.35 at the time. Only lasted 'til the start of basketball season.

    If I had to pick one girl from the golden era

    Not a common choice, but I've always liked Rosemary Clooney, in a "girl next door" kind of way.

    1940's Baseball

    Sounds like an incredible find Lizzie. While it doesn't compare to your find, we found a ticket stub from game 3 of the 1946 World Series in my grandfathers desk when he passed away, and my father still has his ticket stubs from game 2 of the 1967 World Series. World Series tickets weren't...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    Not a chance. The whole concept of a carburetor is foreign. I had a 1970 Barracuda with a six-pack. What a great car...totaled it on the Maine Turnpike!

    Gin Lovers Unite!

    It figures my first post here would be about gin. G&T is my go-to summer drink. With a good fresh lime, there's nothing more refreshing on a hot day. Martini for the rest of the year, or for drinks after work. I guess I have simple tastes...Beefeater or Tanqueray. When I can find it...
