    and we have our myths, legends and fairy tales.

    I had the pleasure of meeting Kjeld Sorensen of Red Hat Pipes at the Las Vegas Show. He had an artfully done pipe, recently made, that I just could not resist as an addition to my collection of sea creatures.

    That is just gorgeous!
    That anyone has the imagination to see this form locked in a prison of briar, and the skill to liberate such beauty, just blows me away.
    Oh! And to boot, it's a pipe! Sorensen

    From what I've seen so far, your collection has graced the "pages" of PM.com exquisitely. Great taste, Yachtie!

    Of all the pipes you picked up at the Vegas Show, that's got to be my favorite.

    Simply beautiful!

    For some reason, Kjeld hasn't received the same amount of esteem as some of his other countrymen. Perhaps because he's friendly, approachable, and open to critiques of his work - unlike some of the other Danish "masters".

    Personally I think his work is top notch, evidenced above.

    Nancy and I had dinner with Tonni Nielsen and his wife Barbara at the Las Vegas Pipe Show. When Tonni saw this pipe he was wowed. The next day he sought out Kjeld at the show to congratulate him on his increasing skills and artistry. Some of those "Masters" are really good guys who support up and comers. Tonni had the benefit of working under Former and Teddy Knudsen at Larsen starting at age 16. He has never forgotten their mentorship and pays if forward whenever he can.

    what talent.

    Marry the right person, this one decision will determine 90% of your happiness.

    Does a culture based on seperation and competition, of scientific sophistication and mideval religion, offer happiness even as it ravishes the Earth that sustains it?

    And I'm positively certain that the picture does no justice to how it truly looks and feels. Great pipe!

    I am not one for the arty kind of pipes but, I must say I would have that in a minute. It looks like an art deco woman bending toward you. Yup, I would have that one, really nice get.

    There is nothing like being left alone again, to walk peacefully with oneself in the woods.
    To boil one's coffee and fill one's pipe, and to think idly and slowly as one does it.

    Very nice.
