My Nearby Angels

-

 

Most of my readers know all about my affinity with angels.  I smoke my pipes with these two anxiety reducing angels that are like worry stones.  I dropped the right one on the concrete floor of our garage in our NY home and broke the tip of the Angel's wing.  So I bought a second one which stays close to the small velour bag it came in and store her in that bag.  But I have not smoked anything without my angel present.  I always feel the presence of angels no matter where I am or what I am doing.

This may be the only time I will mention angels, but I felt I needed to mention them because of the importance of angels in my life.  This is all I need to say about them.  But the angel with the small sack will go with me everywhere I go now.  But I never smoke anything without my angels.  Most of you would understand why and this might be new to a few of you.  These angels could stir up a lot of controversy, but they are my pipe smoking buddies that have been with me for years.  I never smoke anything without an angel present.

The one on the right is at least ten years old and the white one is relatively new.  My wife upon seeing the broken wing on the one said I needed a new angel.  So now I have two who ate always present when I smoke anything.

The tobacco in the background is a tin of Morning Light as I smoke my Tim West pipe this morning.  I like a lighter tobacco in the morning and Morning Light seems to suit me for the first bowl of the day.  I think I prefer Peterson's Early Morning Pipe as it has a little less Latakia in it.  Today is the only reference I will make to my Angels, but they are always present when I am smoking a pipe or the rare occasional cigar.  I find they keep me company and make me feel like the Angels are close by.  I talk to them from time to time, and it might seem crazy to have these two angels near as I smoke my pipe.  

Here is hoping your weekend is a good one and I thank you for your time this morning.  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...

Strange

 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...
