    Golden Era Yearbooks

    My brother-in-law... ...George found a old NC State yearbook from the 1930s. The thing that strikes me is how old everyone looks.

    My new (vintage) Borsalino

    My Federation is Finally Here!

    After what seems like quite a while my new Akubra Federation is here!! I ordered one in size 60, and it turned out to be too big. I sent it back, but 59s in tawny brown were back ordered. Overall, this was about a 6-plus week process. Impressions: I like it. It's pretty stiff at this...

    Show Off Your Projects!

    Here... ...is my stair project. Our stairs were made for carpet, and the previous owners wanted wood stairs, so they stripped the carpet and stained the stairs green. While I applaud their willingness to try, the result was quite bad. The stairs were pine and badly split, the rails were...

    I agree... ...I would've have guessed you much younger. Your daughters look like charming young ladies and they are a credit to you I'm sure.

    attn DC folks

    We have... ...plenty of DC Metro area Loungers. I hope they'll chime in. I lived in the area for 15 years until 10 years ago. The only thing I'll say is: look at where you'll work and decide where to live based on that. Also, don't turn your nose up on an area until you've researched it...

    Show Off Your Projects!

    I posted... ...these in the house thread. Our house had a broken pediment over the front door. When I repainted I discovered bad wood rot from water intrusiton. I decided to put build a pedimented portico out from the house to prevent a recurrance. It worked out pretty well and stopped...

    I can understand... ...that. We have the "local" passes and I've long since forgotten how many times we've been there. PM us if you make the trek again.

    What is it to be a gentleman?

    There... ...is really something here to think on. I'm sure you could look it up in a dictionary, but there is a huge variety of opinions of what it means. Classically, a gentleman was a person who didn't have to work for a living. If you read Benjamin Franklin's biography, when he...

    At the foot of the flatiron building 1903

    Thanks for posting... ...the clip. I remember a scene from the move The Age of Innocence, where there is a long view of a street scene on a windy day and hundreds of men are walking 90% with bowlers and every man holding down his hat. You'd think a reasonably fitted bowler wouldn't blow...

    Classic education

    Magistrate... ...I thought you went to "High School on the Hudson." Classical education means different things to different people, so I'm not sure that when we discuss it that we're really talking about the same thing. There did though, used to be a notion that there was a common cannon...
