How?

-

 Maybe a better question might be, "Why?"  Okay, I have to admit that I am not much for social media, but the headlines caught my attention.  How can a one year old child be three years old?  I have to admit that I read the headline and wondered how it could be if the child was born in June of 2022.  Some people throw something out on social media just hoping something will become a media sensation.  I know something about mothers and children but am not quite sure how it is that something so rational becomes seemingly out of the ordinary.

This mother did just that letting the clicks hit and being quiet until she felt it was time to explain how this could be.  Was this some anomaly?  She finally had enough hits and questions until she explained her logic.  By now, maybe at least a few have figured it out, but it was nothing of the miraculous.  The mother was just being rather clever.  Her son was born in June '22 and saw the entire year of '23 and has now lived to see '24.

Figured it out yet?  It took her explanation for me figure out.  He has seen three years in his short life while being only one year old.  He lived to see the rest os '22, lived through '23 and is now seeing his third year of '24.  So, he's a three year old while being only 18 months old.  He's seen three years.  Make perfect sense, in a way.

Having seen her explanation makes me wonder why.  Why would she go through so much difficulty if that is her explanation?  Many were just dumbfounded she'd go through all that just for reactions.  Some people have too much time.  I might fall into that category, but she had some fun and I have to admit her reasoning was clever, if nothing else.  

And the fact I'm even bothering with this might make one wonder whether I have too much time on my hands.  But then a reporter bothered to research this story.  I need something to do while smoking my pipe, so I do a lot of reading.  Today I'm smoking my Savinelli Champagne pipe today with some Captain Bob's Blend.  I realize that there are those who make a living looking for weird news.  This reporter did her job that day, with more detail than I have here.  Thank 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...

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...
