Quiet Monday

-

 Being retired maybe you think all days are the same to me.  Actually, I get the Monday blahs like everyone else.  But it has been a quiet Monday morning for me.  I change my overnight T-shirt after I make the bed and I spray a body spray in my every morning.  My wife got me an Old Spice brand for Christmas and as I was spraying it, I thought that I miss that Old Spice bottle ewith the clipper ship on the front.  Sure it cost about ten bucks a bottle and it had an old man scent.  But those of us who are old guys don’t need colognes costing $200 or more.  

I have one of those and my wife says the scent is over powering.  I have no need to smell like a GQ magazine.  Why wear a $200 cologne when my wardrobe is a ten dollar T-shirt and my shorts are about $15?  I need to smell like an old man, not a forty year old!  

But it must be a quiet morning if this is all I have to write about today.  But at least I don’t smell like an old man, or at least think I do.  Maybe Old Spice sprays these days are affordable for college guys who don’t have a lot of money to spend on toiletries.  My dad and grandfather wore Old Spice from the ship bottle.  But these days I think they have discontinued that fragrance.  But in a way I miss it.  

I’m an old guy that doesn’t need to smell like a college student.  But at least I smell good or think I do.  Sometimes I smell like a pipe according to my wife.  She hates that smell.  Maybe these days only old men smoke pipes.  Women, if they smoke anything, have gone to cigars.  At least I don’t smell like an old stogie.  Today my pipe is my Savinelli St. Nicholas pipe with some Peter Stokkebye English Luxury.  My coffee this morning is from Trader Joe’s and is from Rwanda and is a single origin coffee.  Thank you for your time and Peace and Love to each one of you.

About Good Vs. Evil

-
 My Angels told me Satan wanted to create and God wouldn’t let him, when I asked them if there were physical unions in heaven.  But here on earth creating is good.  God allows us to create all we want, within limits.  But in doing so we do the will of God knowing He is the Giver  of all life.  My Angels didn’t tell me this, but it is my thinking that we have to recognize God is the Giver of ALL life.  This is why every human life is sacred and why only God can take a human life. This is why God will overlook any sin but the taking of Human Life.  This is my theology from my Angels and why it is so important that we control both our hatred and our anger.  This is why there is the taking of human life.  Satan knows this too and why there is evil in this world.  Without righteousness humanity wouldn’t exist. This is why I believe God won’t let the world be destroyed.  There will always be wars and rumors of war, which is why livin...

Bach and a Pipe

-
 Bach was known to drink wine and smoke a pipe.  I did a little research in the area and found he was known to use tobacco in a pipe.  Tobacco came from the New World and before the New world was settled tobacco was traded back and forth.  He had access to tobacco as it took some wealth back then to afford the tobacco.  It was used mostly in the upper classes of Europe and it is said that his cousin supplied him the tobacco. As to whether men of great wealth generally used tobacco is a debate that countries today.  Shakespeare is not known to have smoked tobacco, but it seems he used pot and cocaine, which were found in clay pipes excavated from his property.  But many think it would be scandalous to suggest Shakespeare used tobacco.   When we get to the settling of the New World, pipe smoking was common among men.  The odds are great that great historical figures were pipe smokers, but most of this is conjecture but we simply don’t know. ...

Kind Of

-
 I’m kind of anti-social, but in my thinking it’s for good reason.  I’m pretty shy about my Angels.  They define who I am.  I seek to protect them as much as I can.  I’m willing to share my space, but only with a few.  Other than this I’m quiet about my Angels and it’s why I prefer solitude over many.  They say opposites attract and in my case this is very true.   I’m attracted to outgoing people.  In this regard my wife and I are opposites.  I can force myself to be an extrovert, but this is not my nature.  I prefer a quiet life of mostly solitude.  In this day of the Internet people are either outgoing or they will be alone.  I am happiest with a mind that doesn’t think too much.  But stress can give me overload.   I need diversions from life to keep my mind from overthinking.  This has been a problem for me for most of my life—even from a very young age.  Too many people and too much input causes my ...
