There is a Reason

 There is a reason why my blog asks if you are 18 or older.  I write about tobacco use and tobacco products including pipes.  But I also can write about anything I wish.  I can write the word "sex" without getting into issues, but the fact is that I can write about most any topic I wish.  But if we're to be over-the-top religious or political, I could get flagged.  But this blog is about my pipe of the day and tobaccos.  

I have been about as "adult" as I want to get.  This blog site has rules.  So, in order to stay within the rules, I won't go beyond that which I have written.  Currently I am working on my wishlist for the Smoking Pipes website.  I have been shopping for what I think might be good English tobaccos.  I guess one could say I have been like an old professor to my family, but while I might have the educational status of one who could be called "learned," I see myself differently.

One of my son's visited Oxford University while he was in high school and I wanted him to bring back for me an Oxford sweatshirt, which I have worn proudly.  There is an inside story to that sweatshirt I won't share here, but there is a way I interpret the Bible that is quite unique.  My thinking is that if my interpretation was acceptable to most, I could teach theology even at Oxford.  But that is all I will explain about it.

I once had a seminay professor who once said that a particular understanding could open the doors for a person to teach theology most anywhere.  I assumed that meant Oxford too.  Not that Oxford would allow me to do so, but in my thinking it could.  But my interpretation is so different I doubt my understanding would be accepted most anywhere, but I AM a dreamer.  So, ending up at Oxford was just a fantasy.  Yet, somehow I believed.

So, maybe I am like a frustrated old professor that only taught my family.  Even my wife tires of hearing about hearing it from me, but it is how I think in regard to all of life.  Religiously I could be most anything, but I just call myself a Spiritualist.  That won't open many doors and certainly wouldn't get me to Oxford, but I always believed it could.  

So, that is on my mind this morning as I smoke my St. Nicholas pipe with my Autumn Evening.  Maybe I am just an old "wannabe professor" but maybe I qualify for having taught a few and still do.  So, I decided last evening I would order eight ounces of Old Professor English tobacco by Cornell and Diehl.  No, it won't get me to Oxford, but that sweatshirt from Oxford is a reminder that I could.  Thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.
