The May '09 issue of Esquire is all about "being a man." It's enjoyably chauvinistic, as only Equire can be.

One of the articles is simply a list of 31 things every man should own. Oddly, at least half of these items I've never even considered owning, but found myself wanting them. Badly. So that I can be a man, too. I guess they are doing right by their sponsors.

Environmentalism isn't my cause célèbre by any means. That said, I've always believed that being frugal and responsible includes not wasting things, and some people have turned that into an environmental message, so I suppose I am a moderate environmentalist in an incidental sort of way.
