Long Week - Cigar Time

Friday, October 9, 2020

Exhausting but by no means bad work week. So appreciative that it is Friday. 

No, that is not gin or vodka in the bottle. It’s water. I’m taking a break from drinking. It’s something of a practice run for another dry January in a few months. I was successful this past January so I have confidence I can do it again. However, a warm up can’t hurt, right? Truth be told my goal for October is only three weeks alcohol free. Twenty-one days sounds manageable compared to the 31 day I did this past January. Hard liquor really goes well with cigars though...

Sunrise Sunset

Wednesday, October 7, 2020

Just as the sun is coming up later and later, it’s going down earlier and earlier. These outdoor photo taken at 5:55 p.m. 

Morning Sun

 Wednesday, October 7, 2020

The photos posted here were taken at 7:41 am this morning as I was just getting back from an early walk. Sometimes on cloudy October days I’ll look out the window or look up when walking and get tricked into thinking the sun is out but then I realize it’s just the brilliance of the colored leaves. Wasn’t sure what the weather had in store for today so I was jazzed to see that today it’s actually the sun. 

Falling Leaves

Very much a Monday kinda day. Not that that’s a bad thing. Just rather uneventful. Worked a lot. Took a few walks. Leaves are falling. Here comes Tuesday.

Cigar Time

48 degrees. Perfect weather for being outside if dressed appropriately. Not enough leaves have fallen for any serious raking but it’s only a matter of time.

Longer Shadows

Perfect walking weather continues. This photo taken just before 6 pm at the cemetery. The shadows are long and you can see mine captured at the bottom of the photo as I snap this shot. 

Cigar In the Back Yard

Wednesday, September 30, 2020

Mid-week cigar. On average the number of cigars I smoke averages around 2.5 per month but that’s gone up a little recently. Reason? I’m anticipating the cigar lounge I frequent during the three coldest months of winter will be closed for the season this year due to Covid. I know, excuses, excuses. . . .

Had to move under the overhang of the back stoop due to a brief rain shower.
