I received my LL Bean Blucher Mocs as a Christmas gift in 2006. They received a lot of wear at first but I always favored my boat shoes in the end. Since leaving my well worn and much loved boat shoes in a rental car on a recent vacation, I’ve rediscovered my Bean [...]

Away We Go
July 12th, 2009 1 Comment
While watching Away We Go this weekend, I noticed something interesting in the wardrobe choice for John Krasinski’s character.
Look a little closer at the watch he’s sporting, that band looks familiar doesn’t it?
Perhaps John Krasinski is a Nadsat reader? Fine choice, Mr Krasinski. The movie was enjoyable too.

Prefab Homes
July 11th, 2009 1 Comment
Prefabs homes are nothing new. A prefab home is simply one that has the major components prefabricated ahead of time away from the build site and then finally assembly takes place on the actual home site. This has been around for a long time in the form of modular or manufactured homes. I remember growing [...]

After debating it for awhile, I finally have another watch. I like my old watch and will still wear it, but I had been eager to try out different watch bands and unfortunately my old Seiko won’t allow it. Luckily, Sandy got me a watch and an assortment of bands for my birthday last week.

April 9th, 2009 2 Comments
The internet is a dangerous place. As I research for the new apartment, I’ve found plenty of things I never knew I needed. In looking at furniture, I find myself drawn to the classic Eames Lounge Chair in a way I never expected.
Things I never knew I needed

A new series on Nadsat inspired by a thread on Style Forum, “Things I never knew I needed” (but now desperately need). The first installment, decorative bottles for bathroom items:
I like a neat bathroom even though I barely claim mine as such. A neat bathroom used to mean empty to me, nothing on the counter [...]

My first Maryland Crab Feast
August 17th, 2008 1 Comment
I love crab. Crab cakes, she-crab soup, deviled crab, cajun crab dip; what’s not to love? All this crab love but I’ve never been to an authentic Maryland crab feast. I finally got my chance last weekend when Sandy’s cousin got married in Cambridge, Md.

On Shorts and Pants

I can’t remember the last time my Dad wore shorts. There may be an old picture of the family at Myrtle Beach with him in shorts but it has be at least ten years old. He believes once a man reaches a certain age he ceases to wear shorts. It’s the same [...]

NYC: Shopping Fun!
May 9th, 2008 6 Comments
Whilst in NYC I made it a goal to visit both J. Press and the Brooks Brothers flagship store. Both were an experience. These two stores are largely considered the Meccas of traditional American men’s clothing, particularly those that subscribe to the natural shoulder, sack cut, ivy league style. This style has [...]
