Seasons in the Sun

 Nothing is guaranteed in life.  I told my wife if anything should happen to her I’ll remain with my son unless he decides to sell his house and move elsewhere.  I’ll remain here in Cape Coral and simply find a place to live.  But those are my plans.  Same with her if anything happens to me, but where we live otherwise depends on her.  I’ll let her make that decision.  

I’m thinking I’ll live to see the Messiah come.  I have no proof of this but it’s in my thinking.  I might wait quite some time.  Meanwhile life goes on.  As cold as it has been it will get warmer.  But I’m here in Cape Coral to stay.  We have our home in NY I can visit, but this is permanent.  

I’m not planning for my death, because if I were, it would be like lying.  So, I plan for life accordingly.  I am the only proof I have and so I live as I wish.  I’ll let others make end of life plans but I won’t.  This is the only guarantee I have.  I just don’t know when it will all unfold—only that it will.  Otherwise, I am just a crazy old man.  

I have no guarantees on anyone in my life.  I am the only guarantee I have and as long as I am alive I am proof.  Otherwise I have none.  But I’m saying what my parents said and grandparents and so on.  What makes me different?  Something I can’t prove—my Angels.  I am the only proof I have.  

I pray for those I need in my life.  It’s all I can do.  But I don’t need a caretaker.  I am 100% self-sufficient.  And I will be asking nothing of anyone but a place.  My wife makes sure I am bundled against the cold and she keeps me fed.  I do my part in caring for her.  We work as a team for each other.  

So, as I wait for the Divine Intervention to come I’ll smoke my pipe and meditate on that which is most important.  It’s Sunday and I am smoking my Angel pipe this morning with some Haunted Bookshop and mt coffee this morning comes from the Blue bottle coffee company.  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...
