What Do (Did) You Do
That was first career- I miss some aspects, and others not so much. I still get calls/cases from time to time, and it will certainly continue to shape me in the future. I’m in medical education now, and don’t smoke on the job. My pipe time is almost exclusively during my commute or on my...- KafkaStoleMyBike

***What Are You Smoking, February 2021?***
Breaking out my favorite pipe to try out the new arrival of Briarworks Bacon Old Fashioned. The other jar I ordered didn't survive UPS, so I’ll be focused on this for the next few days. Pipe is an old Road Town Dublin Straight Briar that I sanded and shaped more to my liking. Smokes like a...- KafkaStoleMyBike

What Are You Listening To? ~ February 2021
I find it just a little unsettling that my spellcheck keeps changing ‘Opeth’ into ‘Oprah’.- KafkaStoleMyBike

The New(er) Crowd
I’ve been enjoying the forum as part of my recent move to an iPad for browsing and news. One silver-lining of the current pandemic is that it has forced me out of my usual social circles to engage with individuals I‘d likely never have “met” otherwise. I’ve learned so much on this forum in just...- KafkaStoleMyBike

What are You Watching, 2021? Rating [*/5]
“Lovecraft Country” on HBO. Probably my favorite read of last year, it will never live up to my hype/expectations. That being said, I’m still enjoying the show and my Better Half is along for the ride!- KafkaStoleMyBike

Sutliff Creme Brulee
These are go-to blends for me when I want a casing/flavor. I have a couple in cellar to see how they age. Shameless plug for Eastfarthing, too :]- KafkaStoleMyBike

Can You Ever Have Enough Pipes
I take in pipes that are imperfect or incomplete or beat up, work on them until I’m felling better, then pass them along or keep them for myself (out of pride OR shame). I’ve had anywhere from two to ten on my desk... I think I have four that I use right now? Collect what makes you happy, and...- KafkaStoleMyBike

Blood Thinners, Clots, etc...
Sorry to hear you’re still suffering. The worst part of diagnosis is how often you have to say/hear, “I don’t know” and keep running tests while your mind races from one horrible scenario to another. If you move through physicians it will only be a matter of time before you get tests for lupus...- KafkaStoleMyBike

What are You Reading Now?
“Swan Song” by Robert McCammon. Nuclear winter and warheads scatter survivors to the wind, with some supernatural elements that make this an enjoyable read. A washed-up professional wrestler, a little girl, a junkie, a shoe salesman, a young boy, and a retired soldier all have intertwined...- KafkaStoleMyBike

Snow
The hospital was a break in the fire sprinkler system, leading to substantial flooding and damage but thankfully nothing in the patient areas. Property can be replaced, but we’re hearing of quite a few deaths associated with the storm. It will likely be a few weeks before we know the full extent...- KafkaStoleMyBike

I cannot contain myself anymore: this forum needs more kittens! Picard is on the left, Watson is on the right. I’m right here in the middle, absolutely smitten with these two boys.- KafkaStoleMyBike

Your Go to Morning Blend
I usually smoke on the drive to work, thinking of it as a compliment the hogshead of coffee that gets me through each morning, but it’s whatever blender I’m exploring at the time (currently Boswell’s).- KafkaStoleMyBike

Good looking kittens!! I’d never had a cat until my Better a half brought one home 9 years ago... now I’m fighting with two chunky cats for recliner space as I type this.- KafkaStoleMyBike

Snow
I’ve been in Texas for 5 years now, and this is the coldest (2F) and snowiest (3”) I’ve seen down here. Some pipes burst in our hospital, but my lab and clinic are luckily spared. I have to admit that driving in my Jeep on icy roads makes me homesick for Wyoming.- KafkaStoleMyBike

What Is The Most Repellent Blend?
I’ve finished the tin and will put Dreams of Kaddath on my list. Last few bowls left a soapy aftertaste. Or maybe I just need to try a different brand of soap....- KafkaStoleMyBike
