There ARE Those Times

-

 I don't have to post anything every singles day.  There are those days that I have nothing on my mind.  So, I could pass up posting this morning because I don't have anything to say.  But if I continue writing I may conclude I did have something to say.  The political season is heating up as it does about this time of year every four years.  Or I'm sure if I dig deep into my Spirituality, I might find something there.

But in all reality, I like not having something on my mind.  I had another post ready for today and I might switch them saving today's for tomorrow, but that doesn't mean I'm not thinking.  The thing of it is is that I don't feel like thinking this morning.  In fact, I feel like doing nothing but listen to the birds, smoke my pipe, and drink my coffee.  

I like not having something on my mind.  I'm sure I could find a hundred dollar pipe to write about as I did the other day, but the fact is, I don't feel like looking for one.  I'm sure I can say something about my pipe this morning I have not said, but I don't feel like it.  I was going to post about my Old Professor tobacco, but I did that yesterday and have nothing more to say about it.

I could do some reading of the news this morning and find something that requires commentary.  But really, I like not having something on my mind.  But if nothing is on my mind should I worry about dimensia or some other brain malfunction?  Maybe I'll work on this post today and post what I had for today and save this for tomorrow.  I could do just that. 

Just once in awhile my brain goes to sleep and while I feel like writing, I might not have much to say.  Days like this are rare for me, but they come around every so often.  I think everyone needs a day without thinking too much.  Some people need to just shut up and listen and maybe it would be best if I didn't post today.  But I work hard on having something every day, even if I have nothing.  Most of the time I'm quiet, just sitting here on the deck smoking my pipe.  Listening is best.  The nice thing about a pipe is that it makes no noise.  But the conversations I've had with a pipe can fill volumes!  My pipe this morning is my Peterson System Standard pipe with my Old Professor tobacco.  My coffee this morning is American Rifle Coffee Company Headless Horseman Pumpkin Spice coffee.  Just take some time and listen to the quiet.  You might be surprised at what you hear, or in my case today, what you dont hear.  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...
