Friday's Finally Here - Valentine's Day

 Friday, February 14, 2025

Friday's finally here. I made it.!  It was a week of indoor recess every day for the kids, a full moon, a Valentine's day party, and conferences. Yep, they were pretty riled up this week but I managed as well as I could and it was all just fine.  


The temp was up a little bit since I last smoked on Wednesday. Decided to go for a bigger cigar, an Oliva, since it was more pleasant out. I lasted about 40 minutes before I got a little too cold.



Got a little shoveling in while I was outside. 


Dale and I had stopped by Lunds after he picked me up from school. We just got some prepared foods from the deli and I picked up a pre-made Old Fashioned from Cork Dork. 

Dale and I had drinks after my cigar and shoveling. 

It was a quiet, low key, and pleasant Valentine's Day.

Day Off Tomorrow

Wednesday, October 2, 2024 Not a bad day at school today and we get tomorrow off for Rosh Hashanah.                       Mom's been in the hospital since yesterday for pneumonia. After my cigar Dale and I grabbed dinner at Northbound and then headed over to Fairview to visit her. She's doing much better and she's in good spirits. Looks like they're going to keep her another night.

Another Great Day for a Cigar in the Garage

Image
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...
