Long Week

 Friday, May 10, 2024

Long, tiring week but at least the weather's been nice and today is no different. Was excited and ready to light up after school. 

Got set up outside in the backyard. 

Quite windy so I lit up my little Macanudo in the garage. 

Beautiful afternoon but when the sun went below our front yard tree...

... it was a bit cooler especially with the wind. This was the last of my Macanudos in the tin. All the rest were fine but this one was a little tough on the draw and a bit bitter. 

So, I changed to jeans and threw on a jacket. Finished the last of my Macanudos. All the others in the tin were fine but this one was a little tough on the draw and a bit bitter. 

                       

Listened to Bronco by Orville Peck.

Dale arrived home and joined me in the yard. 

I lit up another cigar. This one was from a new tin of little Romeo y Julietas and was more full bodied than the Macanudo and not bitter. Drank Old Fashioneds tonight which were like liquid candy. So happy the weekend is here. Frozen pizza for dinner.

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
