Too Much Thought

-

 I’ve decided to quit thinking.  I saw a quote with a glass of wine that said that I used think drinking was bad for me and decided to give up thinking.  I wish I could say this.  And some days I want to say that I just don’t care.  Maybe some day I’ll quit thinking and decide I just don’t care.  I have decided to quit reading or watching the news, but these days news is hard to avoid.  

But thinking?  Can I give it up?  Maybe I smoke a pipe too much, but I’m not sure which is worse—wine or tobacco.  I don’t avoid wine and maybe according to my wife I smoke too much.  But she knows what I know.  Smoking tobacco in a pipe relaxes me and it’s a cheaper alternative than wine.  Although still I haven’t given up wine.  

On our anniversary I had a glass of wine followed by a glass of Bourbon.  I was a bit tipsy after the Bourbon.  It takes me about a year to go through a bottle of Rum.  But I very seldom have Whiskey or Bourbon.  But my son has a bottle of Bourbon that was already 14 years old and is now 16 years old.  Bourbon or Whiskey will last about a year after opening.  

As to whether I have any more Bourbon my guess is probably not.  I can barely handle a glass of wine.  I’m careful with alcohol.  I’d rather smoke a pipe than even drink a glass of wine.  But for me, I need ways to relax.  My wife will tell me if she thinks I’m smoking too much.  And my body tells me if I’ve had too much alcohol.  But still I try to avoid alcohol.  And as for anything stronger than wine I drink that so rarely.  

Frankly my body can’t tolerate too much of anything foreign to my body.  That includes too much thought.  Nicotine does affect me.  I just can’t have too much of it.  If I do, it will definitely have an effect on me.  I can’t have too much of anything including food.  I just have to be very careful.  My pipe this morning is my Sherlock Holmes pipe by Peterson and my tobacco this morning is Old Professor.  My coffee this morning is Founder’s by Stumptown.  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...
