Once a Year

-

I have an eye exam tomorrow.  I have an eye exam once a year to validate my driver's license.  One year I failed and was limited to datrime driving for four years.   I said the eye examiner failed that one and not me.  But I get an eye exam tomorrow.  I had eye surgery in both eyes for histoplasmosis.  That is a fungus that develops either in the eyes or the lungs.

It usually occurs in one eye only,  but it developed in both eyes.  At the time only laser treatment was available, but now they have a pill for it.  I am blind in one eye, but both eyes working together and they work very well.  But I'm still at risk so the State has me get an eye exam to keep my license validated.

Do I have to drive?  Not really.  My wife would like for us to find our own place, but we'd rent and not buy.  And we can do without a car.  I'm never worried about whether I drivet.  I told my wife she can start looking any time she wants.  I'd like a place where I can smoke my pipe, but otherwise I have no requirements.  We'd like to stay close to our son's house.  But if for some reason I am unable to drive, it wouldn't be a problem.

But we aren't to the point where we want to move, but all things just a step at a time.  We'll figure it out, because we always have.  My thinking is and has been that if my Spirit Guides want me to do more I will.  And if I've done enough then I can just relax.  This has been my thinking for years.  My body is aging, but not really my mind.  And my Spirit is strong as are my thoughts.

So, no, I don't worry about our future.  I'll see how I do on the vision test tomorrow and go from there.  Otherwise, I'm content with my thoughts as I smoke my pipe this morning, not really worried about anything.  I'll let my wife start looking for a place and I'm sure we'll find the right place.  We always have.  My pipe this morning is my Peterson Sherlock Holmes pipe with some Lane 1-Q and my coffee is Stumptown Homestead coffee.  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...
