Pirates had a profound relationship with tobacco, alcohol, and, oddly enough, fine porcelain dinnerware. I'm talking about the pirates of yore, shiver me timbers and arghhh, matey, not the modern pirates who attack container ships with speedboats. ... Read More

Freedom From Habit

4 Comments

I'm a creature of habit, and I have a problem. A habitual problem. A habitual problem of being too habitual. Routine and consistency are environments I find comfort in, but sometimes I become a slave to my schedule, adhering to my routine with an irrationally dogmatic fervor.

Strangers In The Park

3 Comments

I do not typically smoke around others, as I tend to find the perceived need for commentary and discourse a bit fatiguing. Pipe smoking is, for me, a singularly private hobby, and the idea of gallivanting about with a pipe seems to evoke a sense of affectation more than a means of comfort, similar to the idea ...

My grandfather used his pipe to call the six Tobys (all of his dogs were named Toby) by lighting a bowl of Granger when they were out exploring the farm, and they would come howling and barking from whatever distance they'd traveled. The "heel" command was delivered via Carter Hall. ... Read More
