MEA Weekend - Wednesday

Wednesday, October. 16,  2024

MEA Weekend is finally here! Conferences after school yesterday which made for a 13 hour day. Everything went well but it was exhausting.  More conferences today during the workday but no classes for kids. 

Celebratory cigar after I got home Four day weekend lies ahead.

Finished my cigar shortly after Dale returned home from work.  Headed to Lunds to pick up dinner.

We're doing a soberish October to limit our alcohol intake but decided to reasonably indulge tonight. I had an Old Fashioned and Dale had wine.


Tonight's cigar was a Romeo y Julieta.

During dinner tonight we watched the film White Zombie starring Bela Lugosi on TCM. Bela's son, Bela Lugosi Jr., has said his father was an avid cigar smoker.

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 that grounds him, connecting the act of work
