Post Covid

Monday, February 6, 2023

So, I'm over Covid. My first day out of work was Tuesday, January 10, although I felt something might be up the Saturday before. I wasn't back in school until Wednesday, January 18. It was quite a long haul. Dale ended up getting it and Mom too. Thank God that's over with. I haven't been that sick in 30 years and this was still the worst. Anyway, I was well enough for a cigar on January 28. See above. 

Had another one yesterday. Another Ashton. 

Dry January is over so I had a little rum with my cigar out in the garage. Had a little more when I went back inside. It's gonna be a damp February. I really appreciated cutting back.

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.

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 by the warmth of the cigar perched between his lips. The taste is rich and full-bodied, 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 t...
