    The Library

    A fellow librarian sent me this some time ago: Pictures of Libraries The actual title of the page is "hot library smut" and the title is probably not work friendly. However, there's nothing naughty on the page. Which library do you like best? Barry

    For the smokers in the lounge

    Have you tried any of the blends at Curtis Draper (600 block of 14th Street, NW)? Sir Francis is nice - it's a mild aromatic. Barry

    What do you do for Living?

    I'm a librarian. I enjoy being surrounded by books. A good portion of the information that my patrons utilize is not available electronically (not yet at least). Some patrons prefer the print. I'm new to this "racket" and so far I enjoy it. Our library is very busy and the pace is...

    Men who can cook.

    Very basic dishes... I've started to cook almost all of my own meals for lunch. I try to make enough for about two days. Tonight I'll make some spinach linguine with a variation on a aglio olio sauce and also a salad with lots of veggies and some sliced up grilled chicken breast. I'm so...

    Where's my Cocktail?

    I just came back from dinner with a friend. Had a couple glasses of Prosecco, a glass of wine and a limoncello with dessert. Oh yea, I had some food too. I like limoncello. Barry

    Counting Your Change...

    Jillian's Tokens When I lived in Boston (12 years ago) there was a place near Fenway called "Jillians." It might still be there. It was kind of a big arcade with multiple bars. Years later I was sorting through some old coins that I had in a pouch - there were some Jillian's tokens mixed in...

    Bill's Khaki's gabardine trousers...

    At $189 per pair they are not at all inexpensive. I would compare them to Brooks Bros. "Country Club" gab trousers. These are special order - not an in stock item in most stores. Barry

    Lock & Co.

    Anyone know the average re-sale price range for a Lock & Co. unlined Fedora? I saw one in a store in my size - it's about $160. It looks a lot like the Chelsea and somewhat like the Louisiana.. They've got a few left over. I wish I knew the name of that lid... Barry

    Bill's Khaki's gabardine trousers...

    WM Fox & Co (a DC menswear store) sells Bill's Khakis and it is right up the street from my office. I ordered two pair of Bill's worsted-wool gabardine (M1) trousers and they arrived this evening. Since the tailor was in I went to get the pants hemmed. One pair is British Khaki and the other...

    Magnoli's suits.

    Nice suit - you look great! Not that I was in any way worried but it puts my mind at ease about my recent order. Six weeks to go :). Barry

    The Dark Side to Vintage...have you 'that' urge for a Gothic look..?

    As weird as it is I have to admit that it does work. I just thought it was a bizarre mix of genres. :) I was looking for videos of Batmobile shows and that popped up. Barry

    The suits of our leaders.

    I wonder if Bush's suit (in Matt's thread) is the suit tailored by George De Paris.

    Ralph Lauren

    I saw a nice looking blue DB blazer on the website. I went into a Ralph Lauren store at Tysons II (the more "upscale" end of the giant 2-complex mall in Virginia) and tried it on. I was not all that impressed. The jacket was loose under the arms and in the body. It sure looked nice on the...
