Fall.
It is upon us finally.
Lord willing today Tuesday the 20th will be the last day above 75. It's been borderline ridiculous.
I want overcast, skies, sleet, nasty wind, snow, road closures, and all around bleakness.
That sounds bad.
I just love cold, cold bleak weather. I like drinking hot drinks bundling up w/ my wife and son and enjoying the indoors, during the fall and winter.
There is nothing in this world like waking up early on a cold, dreary Saturday morning, brewing some coffee bundling up, getting a pipe out w/ a bowl of Dunhill's Early Morning Pipe and going and sitting outside w/ the coffee and good book or the Bible and just enjoying the cold weather.
God, I love reading scripture in the cold.
After the coffee and my pipe are gone I head back in to defrost my buns and get in the shower and rinse my mouth with rubbing alcohol so my wife will have something to do with me that day.
Then I get the little guy up and we get in bed. There is nothing better than being w/ your loved ones on days like that.

On other notes.
The little man is almost there with walking. Last night we got in about 40 steps combined before the night was out. His longest was about 8 steps and took up about 6 feet. Pretty sweet. It'll happen soon.
I think I'm going to force my wife to play Tennis with me. We need to have some exercise thing to stick to. I just need to learn how to play.
College Football is about to enter bowl season. It's been a topsy turvy year to say the least. College basketball has already had some crazy upsets to begin the year.
2 of my good military friends are about to ship out in the next 2 months. Kinda sad. I think I'm going to stop getting to know military folk because they all leave.
I kid.
Have a great thanksgiving.

By "warm drink" do you really mean coffee, or is that code for "straight whiskey, no ice"? Also, are you serious about rinsing your mouth out with rubbing alcohol? I also am a big fan of the pipe and the coffee and the reading, and my wife is also NOT a fan of the pipe/coffee breath. Your reply is appreciated already. peace.
i do mean hot tea or coffee... but whiskey and a pipe isn't bad either.
alcohol rinsing works pretty well. I always do that, and then a very thorough brushing of the mouth and tongue. especially the tongue
although i don't recommend a pipe and drinking alcohol. apparently the smoke and alcohol is the best way to get carcinogens into the blood stream.
you smoke a pipe?
holy crap. maybe all calvinist aren't that bad ;)
what kind of tobacco do you like?
if you come to town we need to get together and smoke together.
Oh okay... my only experience with whiskey reminded me of that time I drank fire...
I will start doing the alcohol rinse and the heavy brushing, but I'm getting mental images of that same fire drinking (sounds uncomfortable to say the least)...
Good heads up on the tobacco/alcohol/carcinogen phenom...
yes, i smoke a pipe...
Hello? Spurgeon? BH Carroll? Calvinism and tobacco go together like biscuits and gravy. (5-point Calvinism that is)...
In KY I smoked this house blend called "Holy Smoke". It was great, but I can't find any place that sells good tobacco here in Big Spring, and I haven't checked Midland yet...
Sounds good, but I'm going to need a cell phone number...
peace.
i smoke quite a few blends.
My favorite is something called Dunhill Early Morning Pipe. Goes awesome w/ coffee.
my cell 374-4270
nice...
thanks for the number. you should be getting a call within the week, so if you could just make sure you're waiting by your phone for the next few days that would be great.
check my blog, son
