We’re Differebt

-

 Pipe smokers overall are just different.  Pipe smoking in general requires patience.  After a bowl of tobacco is finished, it’s not that we can tap it out and load the next bowl.  We need time for the pipe to cool down and then we remove the stem and run a pipe cleaner through the shank and sometimes the stem.  The next bowl can take as much as twenty minutes before we refill the bowl.  

Some might suggest tobacco use of any kind kills.  But I have no fear of death or dying.  Maybe if I feared, I’d live life differently.  But the fact is I have no fears.  I have plenty to worry about, if I so choose to think about my worries, but if I let my Angels worry for me, then in fact I have none.  But sometimes I find it easier to say than do.  

But if I had any worries about smoking a pipe, I could worry about what smoking does to my teeth.  But I do not sit around worrying about what tobacco use does to my body.  If I felt it was a health risk to my body I might quit right now.  But in fact this is something I don’t worry about as most pipe smokers don’t.  I’m not addicted to nicotine as most pipe smokers aren’t.  

I can take my pipe or leave it.  But when I just sit here, my pipe gives me something to do.  Most pipe smokers aren’t preoccupied with their pipe., but a pipe demands attention.  

This one isn’t very long this morning, as I just wanted to share a few of my thoughts about smoking a pipe this morning.  I’m smoking a pipe that was given to me by my wife for my 70th birthday.  It is a Nording Number 3 pipe.  My tobacco this morning is Bayou Night by Cornell and Diehl.  My coffee is Bella Maria organic 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...
