Re: Last minute trip
Hey Sam, Gina and I planned a week in Paris (Christmas/birthday) for the week before Christmas but chose to postpone because of increasing restrictions. We are disappointed, but we will get there some day. We chose to do a four day cruise on Royal Caribbean instead, leaving Miami on the 17th and ret...

Who's your favorite writer?
Hey all! I've been following the "What are you reading?" thread for quite a while now. Who is your favorite writer (or writers, I guess)? If I had to be stranded on an island with a single writer's library, I think I'd like to be stuck with F. Scott Fitzgerald's works.

Just want to say hi!
Hey folks! I have been absent for quite a long time for family issues, but I checked in today, and it is nice to see some familiar and some new faces. Just FYI, all is back to normal in the household.
Onward!

Re: Fountain Pens
I am officially done collecting fountain pens now that I have found my holy grail. My grandfather carried a tan colored Parker 51 on 27 missions in a B-29 bomber in WWII. He carried it until he died, and I have it safely stored away because I am afraid of losing it. Well, I found the same pen, never...

Re: Halfeti EdT by Penhaligons
I wear it pretty regularly, but only in colder weather. Heavy tobacco and leather, and it definitely is not subtle. Very easy to overdo it in the morning. Definitely not a summer scent but one of my faves.

Re: Titanic
Well, I really don’t know if these are replicas of what might have been on the Titanic. I do know that some of the stuff sold in the gift shop are replications of the actual artifacts. I am sharing this picture only because I thought it was a fun, shaving-related image with a bit of history thrown i...

Titanic
My daughter and I made a stop at the Titanic exhibit in Las Vegas. I highly recommend it if you find yourself with a bit of time on your hands. I picked up a few souvenirs and thought you fellows might appreciate this photo.

A Summer of Queen
Fellows, This is meant as a celebratory post, so I hope you will indulge. In 1980, when I was 15, my mom took me to see Queen in Chicago. She died a few short years later, and that is one of my cherished memories. This past fall, my wife died of Alzheimer's. A few weeks ago, my 15-year-old daughter ...

Your best concert experience
All, I am looking back on some of the best concerts I've seen over the last few decades. Last month I saw Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience, an excellent tribute to Zeppelin and Bonzo. So what are your concert memories? I saw Queen twice with Freddie Mercury and twice with Adam Lambert. Incredi...

Penhaligon's at Walmart.com
All:
I did a double take when I came across it, but genuine Penhaligon's can be found at walmart.com (online only as far as I can tell.) There are samplers, 1.7 oz bottles, 3.4oz bottles and other products at pretty reasonable prices. Just go to the site and search Penhaligon.

Re: Penultimate
If you really want to get wordy (or nerdy) a professor in our English department once mentioned that we were in the antepenultimate faculty meeting of the year. That's a word that you probably won't hear even if it is the antepenultimate game of the football season. Even spellcheck doesn't like it. jt

Re: French Open Tennis
I played and coached for about twenty years but gave it up because of shoulder and knee problems. But I have not lost my interest in the game. I always enjoyed watching smaller tournaments in person, such as the Volvo in Chicago (which disappeared in the early 90's.) Even watching the early rounds o...

Favorite hotel
All: I used to travel quite a bit for work and became very accustomed to business travel accommodations. But now I am enjoying weekends in . . . getaway hotels, for lack of a better term. I recently spent a three-day weekend at the Broadmoore in Colorado Spgs. First rate accommodations and service. ...
