Ladies and Gentlemen, The Weekend

Saturday, February 18, 2023

Thank God it's the weekend. What a week. It was Valentine's Day on Tuesday and some of the kids passed out Valentine's. I don't know why emotions run so high. They're only pieces of paper.

Anyway, it's nice to have the time to relax and I have Monday off. 

And Samara Joy helps makes things even better.

Roger Moore, Cigar Aficionado

Roger Moore was my favorite James Bond. He had the role from when I was a young kid all the way through to my teens. I think his Bond movies were, if not the the best of them, the most campy and fun. I remember watching them on the ABC Sunday Night Movie. This was before home video and streaming so if you wanted to watch something you had to see it when first released to the movie theaters or wait until it was on TV. Mr. Moore looks great with a cigar.  Roger Moore was a cigar enthusiast in real life. Prior to Moore taking over the role of James Bond the character of the spy was played by Sean Connery. In the Connery films Bond was portrayed as a light cigarette smoker in contrast to the heavy smoker of the novels. It's said Moore did this to differentiate his version of the character from Connery's. It is said Moore asked for unlimited access to cigars on the set of the Bond movies. In the above photo Moore is shown as Bond lighting up a Montecristo No. 1.

Monday, June 16, 2025 Long day. Spent a good chunk of it in the emergency room with Mom. She's okay but will be in the hospital for a few days.  She's now got a diagnosis which is a huge relief. I didn't get home from the hospital until about 7:30 p.m. Dale and I were both starving and went to The Lowbrow for dinner. I had a couple Old Fashioneds and then a Macanudo when we got home.  Today marks the end of the first full week of the rest of my life. I'm getting out of full time teaching and my last day was a week ago. It would be an understatement that I'm really excited.
