Welcome

Hello, internet.  My name is Robert Parise and I'm a retrocentric.  It's about 3:30am, Central Standard Time, here in Chicago and, well, I can't get back to sleep.  So, figured I'd say hello and get this thing started.  So, just to let you know what this is going to be all about, I'll be talking about old stuff most of the time.  Old music, old cars, old clothes, etc.  There'll be some sartorial stuff, but I'm none too polished so most of it will be for you average Joes.  Oh, and any sartorial advice I may give will have your wallet in mind, unlike some other blogs out there that expect you to have a few grand lying around to buy a custom morning suit.  Also, I'm an actor and a bit of a writer so some of that'll end up on here too.  Anyway, I'll cut the chatter and get down to business.  Come on in, take your coat off.  There's whiskey at the sideboard if you want it.
