Quite Cold

Wednesday,  December 11

We've had the coldest weather so far this season during the past week. 

On Wednesday the wind chills were below zero.

Lit up a small Romeo y Julieta and stuck close  to the house which helped shield me from much of the wind. 

Once inside I warmed up with some vodka. 

Thursday, December 12

Chilly the next day too. 

Sunny and not as windy. 

Smaller cigars are better when short on time and when it's cold. Daylight is so much shorter at this time of year and there isn't much of it left when I get home from work. 

We went out for dinner at The Howe for build your own mac & cheese night. I had an Old Fashioned to start and Dale had some red wine. 

No school for kids tomorrow as it's a PD day for teachers.


Supposed to be a little warmer this weekend. Hopefully the humidity will be low so it won't feel raw. Would be nice to light up a big Camacho or a Hoyo.

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 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...
