Solid gold from Play it Again Sam.

Most likely I’m one of only a handful of folks that still carries the Lava Dome torch. Could be because the first pair of techy hikers I had were the original Nike boots (3/4 top, blue nylon and suede, circa early 80′s, anyone know these?) I’m now down to my last remaining pair of rainbow Lava Domes, should have stocked up while I had a chance a couple years ago when the resurgence was in effect.

It’s very likely Martin Yan could be the sole source of my lifelong obsession with Asian food (furthered more recently hanging with my friend Jeff). Back when I first started watching Yan Can Cook, he was one of only a handful of Master Chefs on the planet. Dazzling knife skills combined with an equally dazzling ability to julienne the English language made the show a true gem. His newer series are a bit more subduded but do a great job showcasing his vast knowledge rather than stage presence.

These made a minor comeback with the ‘boarder crowd a few years back, never really took hold. My dad has been obsessed with them for a long while now and I have to admit, when it gets sub-arctic nasty out, they do the trick. Warm like a mitten but still enough dexterity to get things done. He’s got a pair of he’s had forever that are all leather and look top-notch. I can’t seems to find any more of the all leather versions, anyone have a lead?

I know I might be bordering on lunacy with my Poirot and Miss Marple obsession (seriously, nobody in their right mind would watch Evil Under the Sun twice much less 50 times) , but you have to admit, there is some good design happening in this series of Agatha Christie prints.

A very brief sampling of our ever growing collection. I think the #1 rule is that you can’t ever buy one new. Steal, thrift, flea. Just a simple pleasure that makes every day a little better (especially with coffee).

Why’d you stop making these?

Love,

P.S.
Seriously, these are perfect. Why? Why? Why?
