The ‘Home for the Holidays’ Survival Kit

1. Fuji X100: Home for the Holidays = unlimited picture moments.  A good camera is a necessity.
2.  Vintage Flannel Shirt from J. Crew in Redmond Plaid: Comfort is the name of the game.  Good enough for lounging or when the boys (or girl) from High School call and want to grab a beer.
3. Mrs. Fields Cookie Tin: Always show up with something good when visiting – especially if they are putting you up.
4. Playing Cards: For that game of spades with the cousins, or the game of solitaire when everyone is napping. 
5. Patagonia Down Sweater: Easy on/easy off – and will keep you warm on that trip to the grocery store pick up the forgotten cranberry sauce. 
6. Filson Duffle: Get the ‘medium’ size – you aren’t staying that long…
7.  ‘Steve Jobs’ by Walter Isaacson: This is a must-read.  The great visionary.
8. Levis 501s: Again – comfort is key.  You can never go wrong with these.
9. Quoddy Chukka Boots: Be this cool.
10. Buffalo Trace Bourbon: No explanation needed.

    I have been lusting over that Fuji X100! All the “cool” pro’s are using it as their go to point and shoot, so you’ve nailed it with a good rec.

    There isn’t much I’d rather have than a Filson duffle. Screams heritage, durability and good looks.
