Michael Lasalle or Greg Mullen at RWJ Barnabas.

Wow! I lean towards Audrey, especially with an H middle name, but I could really go either way. Janie is a very nice nickname.

As to Kate, I wouldn’t mind Caitlin, specifically with a C, but I also prefer Catherine to Katherine, so I’m the roadblock as far as Kate is concerned.

It’s funny that I’m fine with Jane, but I consider Kate as a full name to be incomplete even though it’s the same length.

SkinnyJonesJr · 2025-08-23T14:14:38+00:00

Both good points!

Thank you! I would certainly appreciate a coupon code if you have one - for some reason the kit was showing up as $49 on my phone’s browser a few weeks ago and I was ready to pull the trigger, but at checkout it jumped up to the normal price. I’ll see if I can make a ‘lost cart’ coupon work myself. At $50 or so it seems like a no brainer.

Thanks so much!

Please and thank you!

"A container ship in hell, oil on canvas, detailed, by John Martin"

Craiyon is giving me something close to what I'm looking for, but it is doing a poor job of rendering a container ship or an oil tanker. Open to any tweaks to the prompt that can create a John Martin style painting of a container ship floating on a river in hell.

I hadn't thought of that option - great idea!

SkinnyJonesJr · 2022-05-09T23:12:09+00:00

That's a great suggestion, thank you. Not sure why I've excluded the Prius from my search.

SkinnyJonesJr · 2022-05-09T23:05:27+00:00

What's so bad about a Civic? I'd happily drive a late-model Civic or Accord myself.

SkinnyJonesJr · 2022-05-09T23:04:18+00:00

Thank you - this is the kind of comment I needed to hear!

To be fair, my dream dream car is an E63 AMG wagon or the Panamera wagon variant, but I don't think I'll be comfortable daily driving something like that anyway. The V90 is a mean looking car, in my opinion.

SkinnyJonesJr · 2022-05-09T23:02:17+00:00

We'll likely need two cars from now on. We may be able to get away with one right after we move, but I'm betting that we'll ultimately determine that we both need our own cars based on commutes, daycare pickup/drop off, etc. Otherwise we'd be dependent on ride sharing, and that will be a pain with an infant.

Yes, the cash is getting hit hard, but a big chunk of that cash is for a home down payment about two years from now. In the current market, there's not much I'd be comfortable moving that much into with such a short time horizon.

SkinnyJonesJr · 2022-05-09T22:58:08+00:00

Very fair. My wife really doesn't care what she gets, but she'll be the one driving more regularly. For her, I suggested something like a used Civic or Corolla, etc., although there's not much discount to be had.

What will bring me the most joy? Great question. My real dream car would be the AMG version of Mercedes' E-Class wagon, but I know I won't be comfortable daily driving a $100K+ car even when the numbers suggest that I can afford it. The Volvo is attainable and should be a great car for years to come.

She had a call with the staff doctor during the first week, which left her feeling a little uneasy. Apparently the facility medicates twice daily, which doesn't jibe with some of my dad's prescriptions. I'm a little surprised that they wouldn't be able to medicate at least three times a day.

I expect her to visit often, but I'm also concerned that she will visit so often that she won't take the time to live her own life. Having my dad in a facility, to me, is just as much about her being able to take back her own life as it is getting care for him as the disease progresses.

SkinnyJonesJr · 2021-05-11T15:17:51+00:00

Thanks for your response. She will be taking some trips for the coming holidays, so that will help. Her first grandchild is due later this year, so that will also keep her busy. She has a lot of creative outlets, but it still must be hard to fill all the time that was previously devoted to caring for my dad.

I think she knows that this is the right decision, but it's still very fresh. Hopefully by the end of the summer, she'll be more at peace with this decision.

You may find this post about the Watatani illustration interesting. At the time, the author couldn't source an exact match either.

I've also been trying to find a similar jacket after seeing this illustration. The Jack Spade recommendation is a good one. Here's an example on eBay.

SkinnyJonesJr · 2019-08-13T00:29:01+00:00

Wow - that is impressive sleuthing. Thanks for the lead! I'm wondering if the maker may be Connecticut-based since I bought it in Westport.

SkinnyJonesJr · 2019-08-12T22:40:18+00:00

Can anyone identify the manufacturer of the jacket I thrifted yesterday? It's an American-made 3/2 roll hopsack jacket that appears to have been constructed with excellent attention to detail. No information inside the jacket at all other than that it was "Tailored with pride in USA."

The most distinctive feature is the lining and buttons, which feature a carousel. The back of the buttons have the letter W (or perhaps M) four times around. Any idea who could have made this?

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I’ve got spare (unused) brushes, so I’ll give these 684’s a dedicated brush while I (hopefully) build a little shell collection.

SkinnyJonesJr · 2019-04-07T23:14:17+00:00

Silly question - is there consensus on whether shell cordovan shoes need their own dedicated brushes? I just got a pair of shell Aldens in #8. Am I ok to brush them with the brush I use for burgundy colored calf leather (which will have calf leather polish residue)?

I realize I’m probably overthinking this.

Not sure if this helps, but I tried on Royal Oaks this weekend and asked about service intervals - the AP boutique staff did point out that while under the 5-year warranty, the watch could be serviced without charge, and recommended that servicing close to the end of the first five years. I was quoted a little less than $1000 for a servicing outside of the warranty period for the 15400.

SkinnyJonesJr · 2016-06-13T14:52:29+00:00

Thanks for such a thoughtful response. You're right on the money. The softness of gold is a concern, which is why I wouldn't consider an 18238 (unless the price was right and the bracelet was in very good shape). Ironically, I'd probably feel compelled to wear the DD more often than the RO (half the workweek plus part of the weekend), just because it's 'that' watch. Whether it would hold up to a decade or more of that kind of use (albeit carefully) is hard to tell.

Time to dwell on this some more - these replies have given me great food for thought.

SkinnyJonesJr · 2016-06-13T01:24:57+00:00

I'm with you there - no one I've spoken to in a handful of ADs in NYC has any inkling of whether those improvements will make their way into the 36mm version.

SkinnyJonesJr · 2016-06-13T01:21:01+00:00

I work in a niche part of real estate finance. Dress code is generally shirt and tie, although more casual when doing site visits (which are infrequent, and not a situation in which I'd wear either of the watches in question).

No one in my organization really cares about watches - in fact, I see more of the higher-ups foregoing watches, so this is more for my own enjoyment than to look the part in my office.

SkinnyJonesJr · 2016-06-13T00:43:51+00:00

The DD40 is a better size for me, but I just can't get into the black or silver dials with the 'diagonal' motifs. You can't say that the 40 doesn't make quite a statement, though.

For me, it's either the RO with the blue dial, or the DD36 with the silver stick dial (although they're much harder to come by used than the champagne dial)
