If you're like me, more often than not in the evening, or the weekend mornings, you've got some downtime to enjoy a pipe in relative peace. While I enjoy a good observation of the world, sometimes you have an itch to do something while you smoke. The obvious answers are something along the lines of read, write ... Read More

Wandering through the flea market a while back, I ran across a booth by the name of "Burt's Macramé Emporium and Time Machines." Burt himself, nametag prominently displayed, was humming and smoking a pipe as he meandered about, adjusting displays. Anytime I see a pipe smoker, I'm curious ... Read More

Premium smoking is different today than when I started 45 years ago. You're reading this online, for example, presumably because the subject interests you. "Online" back then meant the telephone party line was in use, and we couldn't make a call because Mrs. Miller was online telling her niece in graphic detail about Mr. Miller's hernia complications. But now, it means the world is instantly accessible. That's quite a shift in reality. If ... Read More

Grandpa and the 10 Tobys (all of his dogs were named Toby) agreed on almost everything. The Tobys were always accommodating and excited whenever Grandpa was ready for a hike or some hunting, and they liked to help with any project he might be working on for his small farm, from tractor repairs ...

Grandpa and the 10 Tobys (all of his dogs were named Toby) had been preparing for Christmas all year, just as they always did. Grandpa was a fan of Christmas and believed in fulfilling all the details to make it magical, and the Tobys were willing to do anything asked of them, except to stop barking at the wind, which was cold and harsh that year of 1966 ...

Kenan was a neighbor, but I didn't know him well or like him much. We'd mutually attended a couple of neighborhood barbecues, and this was the second time I'd been in his house. The first time, I decided not to make it habitual because Kenan was a little too weird. He was a professor specializing in medieval artifacts who collected occult items and displayed them in his home, and they were disturbing: ugly dolls, ouija boards, ... Read More

I have learned first-hand that ancient creatures foul and furious lurk beyond our senses, as oblivious to us as we to them, awaiting only the focusing of perceptions for mutual recognition and the horrible consequences thereof. Once we see and are seen in turn, our only response is terror, and it was terror that I recognized in my friend Jeremy Reeves ... Read More

Airports are universes unto themselves, dictated by their own laws of physics and time. Ten minutes through security actually takes five hours, and a five-hour layover really only lasts two beers — yes, beers transmogrify from beverages to measurements of time (the result of a complicated process that Einstein only touches on in his fifth Annus Mirabilis paper). ...

Many of us romanticize our pipes, admiring their execution and design, their flowing lines, crisp ridgelines, and meticulous engineering. We wax poetic about the tightness of a pipe's grain, its easy airflow, or the superior flavor of that block of briar. But pipes are instruments designed for a purpose: the combustion of tobacco. ...
