    Show us your home decor!

    I see we have some console radio fans. I think they have a a way of establishing the period look. Those and the cathedral table top models are iconic. Lizzie, your place is fantastic! It's what I would have imagined it to be!

    Why Don Draper IS Lounge

    I watched the show the first season and I liked the "era" coolness. However I kept waiting for something interesting to happen. Never did in my opinion. It's all a fantasy but then movies and television always are. I don't have a problem with people making Don Draper an icon any more than seeing...

    Why you love Bomber Jackets. (its bomber jacket season again!)

    My bomber jacket memories have a different origin.I had always liked them I guess due to "twelve o'clock high" which I watched as a kid. When I got into motorcycles my first good leather jacket was a cross front horsehide. In the Late 70s Harley Davidson brought a bomber style jacket the...

    Zenith console Here are a couple of photos of my latest find a 42 Zenith radio/phono console. I prefer this type that looks like a regular radio console, instead of the square kind with two doors. The brown tiger is a Goodwill find that I got for 5.00. The darn thing was already in the trash...

    Show us your radios!

    Beautiful wooden phonograph Tom. I picked up a 1946 Philco radio/phonograph last weekend aiso in a wooden case. I've got to post pictures of my finds if I could find my camera. I've been putting in a lot of time stripping the cabinet of my 1942 Silvertone console for refinishing. The electronic...

    Derby of San Francisco Jackets

    Bringing back memories. I started wearing Derbies in the eighth grade. Then I continued through J.C. (junior college) Merritt and Ohlone. Wore them while I worked at GM Fremont. My last was a black one that I sewed a Sportster patch on the left front. Still got it, but it will never fit again...

    Gangster Squad movie

    I saw the preview and it kind of reminds me of Mulholland Falls. (Even has Nick Nolte). Still want to see it though.

    I get hassled buying "used" clothing.

    I like thrifting and find quite a lot of nice clothes. If I was skinny I could have a great wardrobe of better quality clothing then I could by at JC Penney for less.

    Relax...dont do it?

    My advice is to set aside a little "my time" every day, if possible. Put a limit, maybe an hour, Make this guilt free. read, listen, to music, garden work on hobby projects. then get back to work.

    Do you have a favorite vintage movie car?

    I like all of the mid 30's and early forties cars but another of my favorites is the 49 Buick Roadmaster convertible driven by Nick Nolte in Mulholland Falls. The movie is set in 1951 or 1952 but the flair of the Forties didn't end with 1949.

    My "Wonderful" Life

    I am so glad that things are turning around for you. I respect a man that places the needs of his family first. If you are not a fan of 'The Art of Manliness" you might take a look. I followed a link from here and have become hooked. Besides all the fun stuff there is a focus on the really...

    I get hassled buying "used" clothing.

    I started thrifting for clothing last year. My wife looks in thrift stores and flea markets for old furniture and what-nots that she fixes up and resells. I have found so many bargains on quality clothing, for example a silk Tommy Bahama shirt for 3.50! Allen Edmond DelReys for 6.50! Anyhow...

    The general decline in standards today

    Well at least the sign indicates that the management is going to take responsibility to enforce their own policies; by ensuring that only the allowed number of occupants are using the room, no loud behavior that annoys the other patrons, no under age use of alcohol, no mini-rave in the rooms. At...

    I have a clothes line in the backyard. During the summer I'll hang my pants and shirts out. but no underwear. The energy savings from this makes up a bit for he A/C.
