About My New Blog

-

 I finally ran out of ideas for my Pipe A Day Blog.  And too, I was under the weather for a few days and didn't write or post anything new.  So a couple of days of bedrerst without smoking a pipe gave me some time to think.  I thought of a name of a new blog called Pipeosophy, which I described as thoughts while smoking a pipe, but Patty liked the name Pipeology better, although this is a term used by plumbers in reference to their work.  But it seems to both Patty and myself that Pipeology was a better word to describe a new blog.

Yes, it sounds similar to theology or psychology or biology, but it just seemed to her that Pioeology was a better term.  I'll still write about pipes and tobacco, but one, this is NOT a daily blog like my Pipe A Day seemed to be.  She said it could be anything related to pipes, but she suggested I could share my thoughts and observations while smoking a pipe.  I will still avoid the subjects of religion and politics, but like today, I can still share which pipe I am smoking and which tobaccos I might be smoking on any given day, but this won't be a daily blog.  

I will cover a myriad of subjects and thoughts, but still Pipeology is all about relaxing with a pipe.  Patty had the right idea by suggesting Pioeology as the theme of this blog.  Everything in my thought processes involve a pipe.  But this blog doesn't have to be only about pipes and tobacco.  And THAT is my point.  It just won't be daily.  I have had time to think about this new blog.  As to what form this new blog takes will be determined as I write and post.

I read a lot about pipes and tobacco and all things related to both, but at the same time I will Google various topics and I am either reading or watching various videos about most anything.  I then will write about most anything on my mind, but probably all while smoking my pipe.  I am hoping to get more into tobaccos and may acquire a new pipe from time to time.  I may still add a photo here and there and still I will say something about the pipe I am smoking or the tobacco.  

But I am giving myself the freedom to write about most anything.  Some of you might find similarities between this blog and my Pipe A Day Blog, but there will be differences.  What is most important to know is that the key to smoking a pipe is relaxation.  I don't want my readers to feel more stressed by a post, but hopefully a post will brighten your day.  

Today I am smoking my Pierre Lamy pipe that I took a couple of hours scraping and cleaning with my pipe reamer.  It definitely smokes so much better now.  And the tobacco today is my Autumn Evening.  And maybe this is all I will say about my pipe of the day and tobacco.  But I WILL be smoking a pipe as I write as I always have.  I just want this blog to be different and hopefully it will be.  It just won't be daily and a link won't be sent at the same time each day.  I'll write when I feel like it and most likely will post as soon as I finish one.  

So, those are my thoughts about this blog and hope you will enjoy it.  Thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.

It's About Balance

 I seem to struggle week after week as to how much football I am going to watch.  There for awhile I was watching all the analysis of the collegiate games and decided I was simply paying too much attention to football.  I cut way back last week and as the season begins to unfold I have to ask myself how much is too much?  I didn't watch one pro game last weekend and hadn't followed the analysis of collegiate games all week.   Then I found myself having a kind of withdrawal and decided I can watch whatever football I want to watch as long as it doesn't interfere with my Spirituality.  But at what point is too much too much?  My wife and I talked about this last week as I cut back on watching and we both decided that I like football and I shouldn't have to be thinking about how much or how little I watch.  I enjoy the games.  College more than the pro's.   I don't have to watch the analysis, but I like College Game Day and I like...

 I can never predict how any of my posts are going to be received but I do get a reaction from my wife quite often, but I'll post about my Spirituality thinking I've said enough and apart from a few other subjects my Spirituality posts do quite well.  I had yesterday's tobacco review done a few days ago and saved it for yesterday and again, it seems my tobacco reviews do quite well.  Then I wrote about my age and it seemed no one cared that much   My wife says that it's my titles for my subjects So, while I have so many subjects to choose from, today it is about how my tobacco choices influence my Spirituality or do they?  Not really.  It's just that I can't smoke my pipes without tobacco.  I could be smoking a lot of things.  Like the question asked when someone thinks you are crazy, " What have I been smoking?"  Well, at least you know.  It's never any "funny" stuff.  You could be asking what I've been drinking.  I have ...

Old Ads

-
 My wife liked my post about old things we remember.  And a lot of what I remembered was good.  But there was some bad things back then that are different today.  Back in the 50's and 60's and even into the 70's advertising in both magazines and TV were incredibly sexist.  I don't have the space in one post to list all the ads, but really they can be summed by saying that a lot of advertising was incredibly sexist. I 've mentioned my wife lit my pipe for me just a few times, but these days she can barely tolerate the aroma of my most flavorful Aromatic tobacco.  She liked everything I said in that post except my mentioning Old Professor pipe tobacco.  Ironically, I like Old Professor the most and she hates it the most.  So, when I mentioned it, she did too.  But back in the day a man smoking a pipe was his lifestyle.  Today, it's a hobby, and not just for men. But too back in the day, no woman could walk down the street without some perv...
