Just Living

Just living and doing.  Feeling pretty calm today.  A nice feeling.

Fall & Pipes

Fall is perhaps the nicest season to smoke a pipe (not that there is a bad season) it is cool and crisp outside in the early morning when I walk with my dog.  The solitude at 5am is peaceful and pleasant.  I usually say the Rosary during my walk, and on a day like today, it feels just right... all things meld together to make a nice start to the day.

Between Classes

I am sitting outside Educational Complex #3 (the building where I have two back-to-back classes today).  I have 15 minutes between the end of the first class and the start if the second.  I am now typing on the small laptop that I use in the room that wirelessly projects images to a large screen.  It is easier to take the laptop outside with me while I have a pipe rather than lock it back up in the podium cabinet like I will after class.  I am surprised how far it's WiFi connection reaches.  I am at a bench about 50 feet away from the building.  It is a beautiful, cool Fall day.  My vanilla tinctured burley is a perfect complement to the morning along with my coffee.
