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.

Fuzzy Photos From Great Bars

La Cote bar, Fontainebleau Hotel, Miami Beach, February 2011. If Goldfinger would have looked up while cheating at cards he would have seen Bond looking down at him from one of these center balconies and saved himself a lot of troubles.

This is one of my favorite hotels anywhere and one of the few outdoor bars I love.

If one were up in daytime while staying at the Fontainebleau, the view would look like this:



From this elevation, you can just make me out at La Cote, mid-right in the frame, in an off- white linen suit. Appropriately wrinkled. Drinking a Myers dark and soda. Planning the evening's escapade.

Loved Goldfinger...except for that hideous terry cloth "romper" 007 pulls on down by the pool...one of the Agent's lowest sartorial moments...
Meyers's with soda? Not tonic? Never tried it...
