A Fork in the Road/Routine

I was just thinking about Thanksgiving which is next Thursday, November 27th.  And, I realized that unfortunately, Thanksgiving will result in the cancellation of the Retiree's Cigar Group because the shop closes for Thanksgiving.  

The loss of being with the group on Thursday the 27th is not pleasant.  But, in keeping with my idea of trying to find a positive resolution to something I cannot really regulate or control, I have been thinking.  And, I think I have a nice idea I MAY try:

Since there is NO Retiree's Cigar Group next week, I am thinking that I may purposefully go there one day next week when they are open, when I can.  I am thinking I could go perhaps on Monday  as I have at least a bit of the afternoon available to go as there is not band this upcoming Monday.  I also think it would be a good day as it would be a way for me to celebrate my Dad's 102nd Birthday and remember him.  I am even thinking of bringing a pipe, and having a pipe there and possibly one smaller than usual cigar IF there are any of my friends there on this what will be an atypical day.  The cigar would allow me to buy something (their pipe tobacco is miniscule, and also would be far too moist to smoke immediately).  

At least at the moment, I believe the above could be a workable plan.  We will see if it actually transpires.
