Santa and the Super Bowl

-

 There is a restaurant we went to the other evening that had a kind of statue of Santa near the entrance.  He was wearing a red shirt, Bermuda shorts, sunglasses, and had a guitar in his hands. Ithe statue is indicative of the fact that Santa spends his off time on the beaches in Florida wearing a Speedo.  I don't know what it is about old guys and Speedos, but upon asking my wife if I could have one, her response was a resounding, "No!"

But this brings up Santa and the Super Bowl.  It seems every year the TV cameramen find Santa Clause at the Super Bowl.  I am positive Santa will show up at the stadium at Glendale, Arizona.  Santa keeps his reindeer at the North Pole because nothing flies faster than reindeer.  But in his off time, he can be seen in both first class, and coach on airlines and some say he can afford his own plane.

But Santa can be seen most everywhere at most any given time, which is no surprise.  We went to a Christmas party for our apartment complex a few years back, and this kid of about four or five asked if I were Santa.  I turned to my wife and asked her to answer his question as I had never been mistaken for Santa until then.  She said I was one of his helpers.  

But the statue at that restaurant reminded me that Santa WILL be at the Super Bowl and he will be seen vacationing on the beaches of the Florida Coast most likely wearing a red Speedo.  He still gets around and will be seen many places without his red suit, but will most likely be wearing red.  And I just bet that some TV cameraman will find him in the crowd at the Super Bowl.  

I am not smoking my pipe this morning, but if I were I might choose my Churchwarden pipe.  Here is thanking 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...
