Hello!

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.

Epic Luxuries: Cashmere Socks

Man, do I love cashmere socks. I have been in a "spoil me" mood of late, and when there was a sale of these beauties on the wonderful gilt.com web site, I went in heavy.  I wore a lavender pair today with my dark gray suit and they looked great.  They felt even better. Nine bucks a pair. Pea soup fog outside? Freezing rain? Tough day at the office? Not a problem. These are like single malt Scotch for your feet. It's a wonderful life, baby.
