The Few Matter

-

 The few of you who read what I write matter.  Getting a lot of eyeballs matters not to me.  I could mention popular names and maybe draw a few more eyeballs, but that doesn't matter to me.  Giving my best to a few matters most to me.  I let my Spirit Guides do the rest.  The post yesterday was about the lengths people do to get noticed.  And what do they accomplish?  My wife thought yesterday's post was strange, but funny.  

That's because I didn't take the space to say what I really thought.  It's the lengths people go to just to get noticed.  I'd rather do well with a few than stretch myself thin for many.  I know my readers, plus a few I'm not sure.  I always mention something that might draw others to this blog and because I'm never sure what I do here is what I think is my best, typos and all, at least I try. 

I had fun with the story yesterday and it was a strange story.  But I had some fun with it.  There wasn't anything the least bit Spiritual about it, but I can reflect on it today and admit it was strange.  But today is different, because I'm back to saying what I've been saying.  I don't write anything to grab attention and I seemed to have failed yesterday if that is what I was trying to do.

I can make the comparison between some of us and that woman.  She seemingly didn't care who saw her.  She was coming out of a bar.  But she may have thought differently had she not been drinking, but who knows?  The Internet can be fickle.  But it's more about my Spirituality here than perhaps my pipe smoking.  I just found yesterday's story interesting because I read about it on two consecutive days wondering why it was even a thing.  

The internet made it a thing.  And that is all I need to say about it.  I am smoking my Peterson System pipe with some Captain Black Original.  My coffee this morning is Stumptown Holler Mountain.  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...
