Summer of Cigars 2022: Tuesday, August 30

Tuesday, August 30, 2022


Had my good friend Mike over a couple weeks ago or so. It was great to see him. Love lighting up and having a cigar together. Above photos are from that night. We each smoked a Romeo y Julieta.

Tonight I had the same kind of cigar. I've been back at work for a week now to get my classroom set up and I'm trying to enjoy the pleasant temperatures while they last. We still have a number of nice days ahead but eventually they'll start to become fewer and farther between. Not that colder weather has kept me from smoking cigars outside. No time like the present though.
Dale came out with some wine to sit with me. He's been on vacation from work and goes back the day after tomorrow. Although I'm back at work I won't have students until Tuesday of next week. We talked of retirement which is on the horizon and are looking forward to new possibilities. 



Had Orville on the Bose. 



Like I said, the weather was very pleasant.

Another Great Day for a Cigar in the Garage

Saturday, February 11, 2023 Another great day for a cigar in the garage.   It's nice to have light after 5 p.m. Had some rum with my cigar; Plantation to be specific.  Listened to Samara Joy. Finished up my cigar as it was getting dimmer.  I went inside for cocktail hour and had a martini. Dale had some wine. And listened to some more Samara Joy. Glad to hear she won a Grammy recently.  Had the junk truck come pick up our living room sofa and chair earlier today. Thankfully we have a couple of other chairs to sit on as the new couch and chair won't be delivered until this Monday.  Nice day.

Snow and Shoveling and a Story

Image
Sunday, March 24, 2024 We're finally getting a little snow in what has been a mostly snow deprived season.                             We're supposed to get a lot and it's a wet and heavy snow so I'm trying to keep up with it. Lit up a Romeo y Julieta and got started.  I asked Bing to write a story about a man smoking a cigar and shoveling snow. This was the result: "As the man shovels the freshly fallen snow, the chill in the air is temperd bby the warmth of the cigar perched between his lips. The taast is rich and full-boddied, a complex blend of earthiness with hints off spice that seems to defy the simplicity of the winter landscape around him. Each draw from the cigar offers a momentary escape, a sensory journey that contrasts the monotonous task of clearing the driveway." "The man finds joy in this juxtaposition: the manual labor of shoveling paired with the indulgent flavor of the cigar. It's a ritual that grounds him, connecting the act of wor
