    Facial Hair.....And Hats

    What is your favorite aircraft of all time?

    Kurt Tank had a fine eye for design and as Bill Boeing once said, "If it looks good, it'll fly good". It's hard to pick one airplane from WWII for a personal mount, but the 190D, had plenty of power and speed. Reports from Americans who had the chance to fly captured ones, it was a delight.

    What are you listening to?

    Speaking of Annette Hanshaw, I've been in love with her for years. I like the pre-big band music of the '30s and before. Eddie Lang, Bix, Django Rheinhardt, Bessie Smith, all travel with me in my car.

    Thank God for Ralph Lauren

    Just a quick weigh in on the RL line. I've been wearing RL for not only their timeless style, but it is because I'm 6'3", 235 pounds and it is the only line that I can buy off the rack and be certain of a good fit.
