A Pipe and Father's Day

-

 Today I feel okay relaxing with my pipe.  Today it is my Nording Angel pipe my wife bought me for my 70th birthday.  It is the pipe I smoke on Sunday’s.  I feel I have every right to relax with my pipe today.  We went out to dinner late yesterday afternoon.  Everyone will be out today maybe except for fathers smoking a fine cigar while cooking on the grill.  I have a right to just take it easy today.

The Yankees play the Red Sox this afternoon and maybe I have become a Yankees fan as I have seen a lot of their games this year.  But baseball is a summer past time.  I’ll watch some baseball until college football begins in late summer.  But Aaron Judge is on pace to break the home run record set by Babe Ruth and Roger Maris.  It will be interesting to see how many home runs he hits.  But I’ve seen the Yankees lose two in a row to the Red Sox.

It is the biggest rivalry in pro ball.  Regardless of which team you root for the Red Sox and Yankees always offer the most drama.  If I had a cigar today I might smoke it.  I may have one in my cigar box and if I don’t I’ll smoke an extra bowl today.  Father’s Day isn’t quite like Mother’s Day.  Not everyone has a father, but mom’s are always moms.  A lot of thought is given to moms.  

I’m not complaining because I give a lot of credit to my wife for making me the father that I am.  She deserves more credit than I do.  So, in a way it’s her day too.  Not all fathers feel as I do, but I give her a lot of credit for today.  Any man can be a dad, but a father is special.  

So, these are my thoughts for today.  My tobacco this morning is Bayou Nigh and my coffee is Bella Maria Organic coffee.  Nothing like a pipe with a cup of coffee first thing in the morning.  Thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.  Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers.

Dave

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...
