Show us your Guns!
Wow--I have done that! I once came home from a hunting trip to Texas and found out that I had a live 20 Gauge shotgun shell in my pocket. Made it through three airports without anyone noticing it. I did have TSA Pre but still.... Done this with spent cartridges as well which would have been...- Alex Oviatt

What was the last TV show you watched?
Have been binging on The Saint (and the Return of the Saint). Very Avengers meets James Bond. The Charteris books are wonderful, too.- Alex Oviatt

There are some wonderful cocktails you can make with this like the Jack Rose or sours sweetened by the judicious use of maple syrup. Great for fall.- Alex Oviatt

Do you own a Tux?
I have three that I can think of and several dinner jackets (velvet, tartan, etc.). Hackett, Brooks Brothers and a wonderful one from Japan. My favorite is a bespoke Anderson Sheppard from the late 40s that I bought at Oxfam years ago. Perfect fit. It was okay to wear in the UK but too...- Alex Oviatt

In Search Of: The Great Hot Dog Stand
Walter's is the best. I have a jar of their mustard in my fridge as we speak. My wife's first apartment after college was in Larchmont so it was a real local favorite. Flo's in Cape Neddick, Maine is right up there, too. I like Pink's on the West Coast but rarely make it there. Truth be...- Alex Oviatt

Cologne and perfume
In this heat, I have been wearing Hermes' Eau d'Orange Verte and Acqua di Parma and Saint John's Lime. Can't wait for autumn which--in SoCal--means early December.- Alex Oviatt

Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven
The Queen drinks Gordon's and if it is good enough for her.... She drinks it 50/50 with Dubonnet, ONE cube of ice and a slice of lemon. Not bad, actually.- Alex Oviatt

Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven
Had a Tanqueray and Tonic while wearing a Stetson Panama Center Dent. So hot in So Cal that linen and Panamas the only way to go. And Hermes' Eau d'Orange Verte.- Alex Oviatt

What Are Your Favorite Books To Reread? / How Many Times? / Why?
I reread fiction constantly--Tolstoy and Turgenev and, yes, Tolkien, too. Updike and Irving, Sayers and Christie and Chesterton. Hemingway, certainly. And I reread The Master and Margarita every year around Halloween. Less so with nonfiction although I think Machiavelli and Marcus Aurelius...- Alex Oviatt

What Are You Reading
Wall of Noise sounds great--like a darker Dick Francis. I have been loving James Hilton's Lost Horizon. I had only ever seen the movie. The book is really great.- Alex Oviatt

Your signature cocktail.
Not my signature cocktail but I recently shared a shaker of Whisky Sours with a friend and they were really good. No egg white and with this classic drink I like the good old fashioned bright red maraschino cherries. Luxardo cherries are actually better--and I use them in Manhattans--but this...- Alex Oviatt

What's for Dinner?
We recently had Devonshire Sandwiches which are apparently an old time recipe from Pittsburgh. Sort of like a glorified Welsh Rarebit (another favorite)--beer, cheese and bacon over toast? Count me in.- Alex Oviatt

Men rings - How to choose? What do you wear?
I wear a simple gold wedding band and wear a gold signet ring on my other hand. Sometimes I swap out the signet ring for one of those three color gold rolling rings. The wedding ring is my second (same wife) as the first one had to be cut off after I fell off a ladder and my ring got caught...- Alex Oviatt
