Life Back to Normal

-

Maybe it’s all downhill from here.  But life is back to normal.  March is full of celebrations but maybe now I can look forward to March Madness although I am not sure why.  It will mostly be the SEC vs. the B1G, although really it could be any usual suspect.  But at least life is back to normal.  The only difference is that my wife and I made it to 50 years.  

I can get back into my spiritual groove interrupted by the occasional college hoops game.  I’m not filling out a bracket as I have not done in years.  I just don’t care  enough to pay much attention to March Madness.  My Angels gave one date and I’m looking forward to April 12, which is Jesus’ birthday.  But since I seem to be the only one who knows this it’s no big deal.  Most scholars seem to believe Jesus had a Spring birth.

But I won’t make a big deal out of it.  I’m thinking we are on the verge of a New Beginning, but it would be foolish of me to say it will begin on April 12.  I’m hesitant to even mention a date even for His birth.  It’s craziness to suggest I even know this or how I know.  But it is a part of my DNA to know.  But to suggest something will happen on that date is crazy.  

So, I’ll mention it and leave it at that.  Our lives need to get back to normal whatever that is.  I’ve decided I like being alone with my pipe.  I don’t care if people join me while I smoke my pipe.  All the activity didn’t stress me and I found out my wife likes to talk.  So, I let her talk.  I was asked about the key to a successful marriage and I jokingly said we both have to live long enough.  But the key is to just care about each other.  

I’m smoking my Dunhill pipe this morning with some Old Professor pipe tobacco.  My coffee this morning 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...
