I Can’t Wait

-

 One might think I’m waiting for Santa to arrive on Christmas Eve, but I can’t wait until he gets here to relax on the beach with or without a red Speedo.  He’ll be here until Spring or when he feels he needs to get back to the North Pole.  But I can’t wait for Santa to relax.  Right now things are tense for him or as tense as Santa can get.  Some say he’s Santa and Santa never gets tense.  But I assure you that he has to make sure all goes well in one night.

Some might say I spend too much time and effort on Santa and maybe I do almost to the neglect of Angels and the true meaning of Christmas.  No, I haven’t forgotten about the meaning of the season.  If I have, then all I’d care about are my own gifts on Christmas morning.  I haven’t forgotten about what the season means and not even Santa would want me to forget.  

No.  I care about his mental well-being because like every Christmas, I want him around with his pipe and Mrs. Claus.  But it would be nice if I saw him lounging around on a beach here in Florida just to know he’s taking care of his mental health.  The season is hard on our mental well-being with too much spending, too much partying, and too many people.  Like Santa we are happy when it’s all over.  

I’ll miss my son after he goes back to Ohio.  But after the holidays are over I won’t miss them.  It will all be over.  Maybe later I too can go to the beach and just relax.  But today it is my Savinelli St. Nicholas pipe with Cinnamon Cavendish and my coffee is Blue Bottle 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...

 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...
