Ash Wednesday - March 5th
Pat has suggested that perhaps for Lent this year, I may want to consider ending my pipe abstention DURING LENT to see how that goes. This thought/idea has been on my mind a great deal. I am not sure though if this could be a very good.... or very bad idea for me to try. I have to also reason through if this would actually represent a "fast" of some meaningful sort.
I do not know if I trust my abilities and resolve if I were to do this and ultimately decide I should continue to refrain after Easter. Yet, perhaps the attempt would help me to learn more about myself.
This is just a brief post, as I need to get back to Saturday electronica work for my research students.... but these thoughts have been swirling around a lot in my mind for many days with no discernable resolution.
Hopefully, I will figure out a definitive decision prior to Ash Wednesday.

It's very obvious that you love your pipes and tobacco, Professor. They gave you great joy. Ever since your abstention, it reads like a large sliver of your soul has been yanked out.
That's an interesting suggestion by Pat. I understand your hesitation but if you gave them up once before, you can do it again, if that's what you decide. Look at your running! You are a determined person.
