Italian this morning, American on my mind now.  I try to move easily and simply.  Just been watching - hanging on the line - the two pale blue Brooks Brothers shirts I had from the excellent shamrockmonkey.  Worn with Levis chinos and Weejuns, I think there's nothing finer.  Is this not the 'warm day' essence of Ivy style?  From the roll to the sole, everything's clean and spruce.  As I grow older, I acquire less.  I don't need Andy Warhol's hundred - just a dozen in pale blue, u.s. and white will see me through.  Plus half a dozen of pennies.
