I'm puffing on a handmade Mountain Laurel straight smooth pot/poker tonight in memory
of my mom, who passed in 1996, and would be 93 today. She was a complicated person, no
need to sort that out. But she was a subtle observer and commenter on people, something of
a quiet mystic, and had a rapier sense of humor completely invisible to people outside her close
family members. A pipe is a great way to sit and remember people, not in sorrow, but with
pleasure and respect.
