The Brompton Bicycle Experience
My decision to buy a Brompton bike was not a quick one. But after such long deliberation and careful consideration, I'm very glad I did it.
Nightclubbed to Death
In restaurants, cafés, and other venues of leisure, we're being nightclubbed to death by overzealous DJs. I wanted to pitch an alternative soundtrack.
The Efficiency of City Living

The Great Escape
I don’t travel much. But when I do skip town for a break, I just want to relax on my own terms.
One Good Watch
Enthusiasm for watches can get really aggressive. For some, it’s like a bloodsport with clubs of men who live for showing off their #sexpile (a.k.a. collection) of luxury wrist wear.
If you have the budget and the desire to invest in a collection of multiple watches for different moods and occasions, I totally get it. The design, craft, machinery, engineering, precision, pursuit of excellence, and human ingenuity that go into watchmaking is captivating. If more men got into watches instead of guns, it would be a better world. But many men don’t have the money or the interest in collecting. Despite what influencers, social media, magazines, and other men’s style resources may tell you, the truth is that you only need one good watch.

Surviving Another Four Years of Donald Trump
It's going to be a long four years, and I'm determined to get through them with my sanity and humor intact.
