Welcome to The Epic! I am launching this blog as a manifesto for and a guide to living well. The title and motto of the blog are taken from the Epicureans, at least some of whom believed in the notion that not one minute of the future was guaranteed to them and that as a result they had the duty to live life to its fullest every moment.
I believe in discovering fun and pleasurable things wherever I find myself each day and I am told I have a knack for unearthing them. My hope is that by sharing in my pleasures and some of my ways of finding them you will begin to collect all the riches that lie in the moments of your life. They are there. Take them! All our lives should be.....Epic.

Fuzzy Photos From Great Bars
Palm Restaurant, North Miami Beach. The coolest Palm there is. Where else can you get tremendous steak, or oysters, or veal parm and have perfect cocktails as well in a clubby atmosphere where nobody is going to find you if you don't want them to?
In my early 60s, widower, father and itinerant storyteller. I am a putative jazz singer, poet and novelist, dedicated to mining every minute of life for the veins of pleasure they contain. My motto is "Dum Vivimus, Vivamus"..."While we Live--LET US LIVE".

Not being findable is just about at the top of the heap of bar requirements alongside everyone knowing your name. A good meditation.
Scene from "Cheers"
- phone rings
- Carla reaching for it: "Who isn't here?" loudly, so the whole bar can hear.
- Everyone's hand goes up in unison.
Oh, FANTASTIC!!! I totally agree.
