Dress Shoe Crowdsourcing
Trying to figure out what dress shoes to pick up - I’ve gotten it down to two choices, both cap toe. Now the issue is whether or not I want them brogued.
So do I go with A)
or B)
Current dress shoe status is passable at best - I’ll likely pick up a black pair in the next few months as well, but as I currently have a wearable black pair, I’d rather pick up a brown for now.

Last night, I found myself in the West Hills at the request of a co-worker and her husband. These sort of invites are both nice and nerve-wracking: nice because they obviously think well of me, but nerve-wracking because I’m the outsider at a family dinner. It’s an interesting environment to be…

Home Bar Basics - Tools
americandrink:
We’re a little ashamed that we haven’t covered some of the basics about building your home bar here on American Drink. So when Cary, aka Monkeyfrog, asked us via email how to decently stock her home bar, we figured our long-ass response would make a pretty decent Part One.
Before we get to the shopping list though, here’s an appeal from the heart: Please don’t spend a lot for bar...

So I’m done with my practice talk. Generally, people said nice things, which is cool, just that I might be using one statistical technique incorrectly and that I need to rearrange how I talk about things.
I don’t know when I’ll be “prepared” so I guess it’s just going to be steady stream of…
