Is It?

 I told my wife the other day that Florida is often referred to as God's waiting room.  It's a place where old people come at the last part of their lives.  However, I refuse to think of it that way.  I feel as though I am here on a mission.  I might be waiting, but I am not here to wait for the end, but a beginning.  All of life is about a new beginning.  So, when I think of the history of my life, this is NOT the end.

We all serve a purpose no matter what you believe that purpose is.  It's why when my wife and I choose to move out, which will not be soon, I prefer to be around younger people.  I enjoy hearing about their hopes and dreams, and I prefer not to just sit around and reminisce, but still my wife and I have a lot to reminisce about.  I know smoking a pipe is generally referred to an old man's hobby, but I tend to believe it is a hobby for anyone, women included.

I've gone into cigar bars and have not seen many women in them.  But there are women who enjoy both pipes and cigars.  Due to my health, I need to be outdoors when I smoke my pipe, because I don't want smoke to build up indoors.  I like cigar bars, but I think more of them need to be accommodating to those of us who smoke a pipe.  There seems to be a lot of cigar bars here in SW Florida, but not too many places accommodate those of us who smoke pipes.

I have been to cigar bars to enjoy a stogie, but that occurrence has been very rare indeed.  I have smoked my pipe while others around me have enjoyed a stogie.  Maybe old giys want to come to Florida to smoke stogies in cigar bars, but I enjoy my pipe the most when I can smoke alone.  But I do NOT smoke anything just to wait for the end of life.  I observe the world and make notations on what I am observing.

Today as I observe, I am smoking my Angel pipe with Tropical Export and I watch and listen.  I see what topics YouTube gives me and a lot of videos have to do with AI and Angel's.  I learn a lot about human behavior.  But I watch and observe.  But the fact is I'm never bored.  If I were bored, my wife observing me, might seem as though I don't do much.  But much of what I do is on the phone.  Lately, however, I've been using the YouTube on the app of oir outdoor TV here on the patio.  

Frankly, I am enjoying life and never get bored.  I do a lot of thinking and my pipe makes for good company while the tobacco is the conversation.  The birds make for background music and the world is at my fingertips.  Maybe once in a while I might wish for boredom, but it never happens.  Thank you for your time and Peace to each of you.
