Old Time Radio Shows

-

 In my spare time before going to bed, I enjoy listening to old time radio shows on YouTube.  They are shows like Dimension-X, X Minus One, Escape, Johnny Dollar, CBS Radio Mystery Theater, and even Father Knows Best from the late 40's to the early 50's.  I can't pass the interest I have in these old shows to grand children, but that I only use the imagination of my mind for scenery and characters, and in some ways these shows take me back to another place and time.

I enjoy using my mind to develop scenery and characters, but in the case of Father Knows Best, all the characters and scenery were presented in the TV show.  But in regard to science fiction, it's fun to visit other worlds or build aliens in one's mind.  I find these old shows keep my mind active and actually I find some plots on Father Knows Best as funny.  

Since I don't smoke my pipe into the late evening hours, I find these old radio programs relaxing and very enjoyable to listen to as I drift off to sleep.  Yes, I have to wake up and put my headphones away and my laptop has to be closed and placed on the table next to the bed, but I find great enjoyment from these old programs.  They seem to erase my mind of all the news I read about during the day.  I actually get a good night's sleep.  I highly recommend these old time radio broadcasts for a different kind of mind exercise before falling asleep at night.

This morning I am relaxing with my Peterson System pipe with Tropical Export.  I have my tin of Morning Light with a cup of fairly strong coffee this morning right here too.  After I finish with Tropical Export, I will fill my bowl with Morning Light.  I don't mind beginning my day catching up on all the news, because still I refuse to be disturbed by the events of the world.  I focus on my surroundings and my pipe.  I refuse to be angered or upset by anything I see, read, or hear.  I want to be an observer of this world.  I find my pipe keeps me relaxed.  Then at night before going to sleep, I focus on things that take my mind off the world of today.

Thank you for your time today 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...
