Labor Day Weekend 2023 - Saturday Cigar

Saturday, September 3, 2023

Until last Thursday morning I'd had a splint (see above) on my foot/leg for a couple weeks due to surgery on my fibula bone which I broke in early July. 

The splint came off and now I'm just wrapped in an ace bandage.

However, when moving about I really need to be in my boot (see above). 

As I mentioned in my previous post my injury is not keeping me from cigars. 

It's quite warm and my foot can get a little sweaty in this boot. 

The low humidity is helping to keep it very pleasant especially in the shade. 

Can't believe I'm starting up with classes on Tuesday. As always the summer races by. 

Would like to squeeze in another cigar tomorrow although I may end up being quite busy as I have to work on some last minute preparations for school. 


I need to be in the boot and crutches for another 3 and a 1/2 weeks. I'm excited to walk around more easily and also ride my bike again.

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
