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.

Happy Birthday Ms. Deneuve!!!


Catherine Deneuve is 73 today.  The quintessential French "woman of a certain age".  When I was in Paris some years ago my wife texted me that she would know if I went missing the only possible explanation is that C.D. and I had met!! I think that showed a wild over-appreciation of my charms!

She recently said that social media "don't allow people to dream anymore".  It certainly doesn't work that way for me.  Tonight I will have a bourbon on the rocks [one of her favorites] in her honor.

The Irish Redhead is right. Nothing is beyond our grasp. Except for a few things, Deneuve being one of them.
