    @Tom-K Tim Gunn, yes indeed, a stylish dresser!
    @Axtremus Do post pics and descriptions of your festive meals. So awesome (and useful since I go to a great Asian buffet monthly and never know what I’m putting on my plate).
    I’ve a collection of Columbia fishing shirts (men’s & ladies). That material never dies. Always looks great. Great for hot weather & menopause too!
    I wish I could post more here. I’m just flat out busy.
    I sure like when people post their travel pics … It’s so unlikely I’ll ever get to visit these places, but seeing everyone’s pics really makes me smile! I learn so much.
    I’m leaving town, heading north when the G7 hits town. It will be wild and stupid crazy here, mainly because of Mr Trump’s appearance after his birthday parade. They actually had school children tear out buffalo berry bushes near Kananaskis so your dear leader, security, anyone else wouldn't be threatened by bears. FFS.

    Am going to be in Kananaskis from 5 through 7 June camping and lake kayaking. Our graduation present for the grade 12’er.

    Elbows up!

      Aren’t the Skecher slip-ins great? Sadly my assortment of Allen Edmond’s shoes goes unused.

      Timely. I’m going to go try some Allen Edmond’s this Thursday. I got very used to Rockports for a decent looking but VERY comfortable casual dress shoe. Back about 15 years ago, I was spending 12 hours a day on my feet. The Rockports looked okay and were built on a sneaker platform, so we’re very comfortable. And while they were on the high end cost wise of the disposable shoes (you don’t really repair Rockports) they held together VERY well, and I could typically get 2 years out of a pair (1 year as the dressier option, year 2 as the slightly scuffed more casual option). That was a decent enough trade off, IMO. Maybe 4 years ago, the quality took a big nosedive, though. So the past two years, I’ve been kludging together cheap dress shoes just due to not having the time or inclination to go out and really look for higher quality shoes. My better half has convinced me that’s far more a waste of money than going out and finding an upgrade like Allen Edmond’s or Carmina which can be repaired/resoled/etc… So this Thursday, I get the joy of going shoe shopping with my lovely bride.

      I used to wear Rockports, too. Very comfortable.

      There is a saying (I'll butcher it) out there about spending money is wise when you're buying something that separates you from the ground (shoes, tires, mattress...).

        I wore Rockports for a long time, but I agree their quality went downhill.

          There's nothing sicker than a bunch of grown men talking about shoes.

          Can we get back to Donald Trump please?

          I was only joking

            @Doctor-Phibes good idea. You can get these for just $500.
