    Brexit 2.0

    As much as I'd like to talk about this, the no politics rule stands.

    The Chicago Cubs Are Going to the World Series!

    I'm one of those casual fans for whom this series brought the game to my attention again. There was no way I could stay up to watch to the finish, but it was a hell of a last game. The general feeling among people I've spoken with in Ohio is that if we had to lose, then we're happy it was to the...

    I didn't know this story and will be anxious to read other's posts.

    1930's and 1940's Household Products

    I've been using Pear's Soap for several years. It has a great scent and is relatively cheap compared to other out of the ordinary brands. And it was among the earliest widely advertised products in the 19th century. To get it, I have to go to the nearest Bed, Bath and Beyond, which is thirty...

    Westworld

    I've just finished the first four and find it very addicting. So many layers and much to think about. Those who are self aware and sentient take it for granted and go about raping and butchering those who only look and feel the same as them. Those who are trapped in the world made for the...

    Ava Gardner: The Secret Conversations

    And Artie Shaw in between! Then there was Howard Hughes, George C Scott (who was, she said, a terrible, angry drunk who beat her up), etc. The author spends way too much time trying to find a way to ask Ava about Sinatra's penis. Ask, or don't ask, but stop making me read about your weener...

    Carol -- a New Film Set in the early 50s

    It's streaming now on most services, and the DVD is easy to find. I still think it is a very fine film by a good director. I suppose he can be compared to Cukor in that he does well with pictures about women, and well with directing them. I'll look for Far From Heaven, and the Hitchcock version...

    Ava Gardner: The Secret Conversations

    I just finished this book, which has an interesting backstory. In the late 1980's, Gardner had a series of small strokes, which left her seriously paralyzed. She spent a great deal of hard work in therapy and recovered most movement, except for one arm and one side of her face. For one of the...

    What if FDR had lived?

    A key element is to qualify it by adding "healthy." A healthy FDR may have been tougher with Stalin and had greater strength to heed Churchill's warnings about the coming Iron Curtain. I certainly don't think he would have allowed worldwide communism to run amok once the war ended. But as it...

    Old worn calf leather wallet

    Very interested, as I'm sure many are, but postage from across the sea makes it a daunting thing for Americans. Surely someone in the UK will take up your generous offer. Give it a little time. And welcome to The Fedora Lounge.

    Orvis' Teddy Roosevelt Fur Felt Slouch "Kettle Hill" $76.28 to yr. door

    I liked the whole collection when it came out. Few others must have felt the same as I don't think it lasted a whole year.

    Keil James Patrick Bracelets

    http://kjp.com I've liked these since I saw a picture of one online a few years ago. Patrick and his offerings and lifestyle are the "preppiest thing on Instagram," as it's said. The bracelets have a New England history. Supposedly, kids would weave them at the beginning of summer and not...

    Is there a line and, if so, how/where do you draw it?

    "But live in $1500 apartments..." That would get you a palace with servants in these parts. It's all relative. My own life has gone through many, many changes in the last seven or eight years. A complete upheaval, and it isn't done heaving yet. Such a thing completely refocuses your...
