- Clothing: Went from typical 90s fad wear to a more mature, classic
look, usually from European designers.

What ever happenned to comfort?

A lot of the various fads that have come in and out of style were of
questionable comfort as well. At home, I wear whatever is the most
comfortable.

- Beverages: Switched from coffee to tea and from dark beers to premium
reds.

Yuch... You'd forgo a healthy Stoudt for a red. That is stressin.

I do think I had decent taste in beers, even in my youth. I never could
stomach the urinal water most Americans drink. These days, I mainly
only drink a glass or two with a dinner, and for that I tend to prefer
a nice red, though I don't hold anything against the cultural
refinement of a consumer of certain dark beers.

Newcastle Brown Ale for the lighter evening.... Pilsner Urquell when I have
a taste for hops.... and Sam Adams Stoudt (unless I can get over to BevMo
and get a real Guinness...those stupid CO2 cartridge drafts weren't at all
brilliant.


- Furnitu Threw out anything made out of fiber or particle board or
veneered. Slowly replacing with handmade real wood and metal furniture.

I'd be stressing why the furniture was something to stress over.

It's not a high priority, which is why it isn't anywhere near done yet.
Personally, there's something intangibly better about sitting in a
nice, well crafted wooden chair than sitting in a $15 plastic lawn
chair from K-Mart.

Till you need to paint or varnish it again.... and again...... I've decided
low stress requires low maintenance.
