VICES: Pride and Prejudice

 Reading arguably the best Austen novel ever written is no fault whatsover.

But unto themselves, pride and prejudice...vices indeed.   

 

VICE: Miami

Famous for its beaches and nightlife,
Miami is also home to world-class art and architecture.

VICE: Vanity

"Vanity is my favorite sin."

~ Al Pacino

 A selection of vain.

VICE: Smoking

Sometimes cigs look gooooood.
But seriously though. Time to quit.

VICE: Rye Whiskey

The preferred whiskey of Al Capone.
Small batch Iowa farm town whiskey from grandpa's Prohibition Era recipe.
Drink it neat or on the rocks.

Happy Christmas

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

VOCAB: Muddle Through

"Until then we'll have to muddle through somehow....

So have yourself a merry little Christmas now."

muddle through, to achieve a certain degree of success 

but without much skill, polish, experience, or direction.

STAPLE: Hudson Bay Blanket

In the 18th and 19th centuries, the Hudson's Bay Company traded 

these now iconic blankets to Native Americans in exchange for fur pelts.

Wooly warm and primary chic.

 

 

CRUSH: Steve Martin

He's been my celebrity crush since I was 6.

I don't think I could tell you my favorite thing about him,
what movie of his I like the best, which banjo album wins,
or the fact that he has a killer modern art collection.
A Modern Renaissance Man!

GIFT: Leather gloves

Leather gloves.  Always the perfect gift.
