Siren's Call
Hmm. It is another one of those days. I woke up this morning in the midst of a beautifully pleasant dream where I was a sales person at one of my favorite tobacconists. It had been a very jolly, happy, camaraderie filled dream where I was walking around, pipe-in-hand, fixing up displays in the store, sampling various crumbles of aromatic burleys and latakias. It was a wonderful dream, but it has stirred the yearnings in my soul.
Added to this, as I was driving in to the U this morning, there was a fellow smoking a pipe outside a building near my own building. He was not a faculty member that I knew (I know damn near everyone), so it was likely either a student's father or uncle, or grandfather who needed to help the student with something or other by driving the student in. Seeing the fellow just added to my craving for a pipe.
Sigh.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
Sigh, indeed. Dreams can be very real, and I'm sure seeing that fellow smoking a pipe made it doubly hard to forget about the dream.
