I am a 76 year old non-binary person who has been smoking a pipe since I was 18. My father and grandfather each smoked pipes and I grew up with a wonderful aroma of pipe smoke in our home. I rotate my pipes daily and look forward to getting to my Gandalf pipe in the rotation. I am a retired journalist and editor having worked on newspapers across Canada and the US as well as in Europe. BTW I am also a gourmet home chef. Thank you for accepting my application.

Gourmet cooking and pipe smoking eh? That sounds like retirement done right. I think there may be a few other ex-journo's and editorial folk here. I spent some time at FT (London) myself for a few years.
Welcome from Montréal.
Welcome from Montréal.
Welcome from North Carolina. My daughter is graduating from University this December and her wish is to travel to Toronto and Montreal for her graduation present. Can’t blame her, it looks beautiful from what I’ve seen online.
not sure what non-binary person is but probably no weirder then the things people consider normal (few things are, heck life is not normal most planets don't even bother with it) and gourmet home chef give me an image of a nursing home but everyone is wearing toques.
Oh hi and I am a goofball but don't blame me I'am not responsible for the general absurdity of life (for example if you don't go unconscious regularly and have these vivid hallucinations called dreams it is really bad for you. That's pretty absurd and trust me no one consulted me about that one).
Thank you. I look forward to meeting other pipe loving members with similar interests.
Toronto is the most multicultural city in Canada and Montreal is flooded with history and tradition. Lots to see and do in both cities. Contact visitor bureaus early on to get all the literature and maps she'll need forwarded to you by mail.
Two important things I have learned in this life: Never lose your sense of wonder nor your sense of the ridiculous. A day with out laughter is a day without sunshine. Thanks for the warm welcome. BTW I maintain my own apartment and am not in a nursing home.
Happy that you enjoyed your visit to our beautiful city. Do come again. The Islands are warmer in July and August.
Ah, jerez and a good pipe. A perfect afternoon. In 1983, I spent six weeks in San Sebastian, one of the most wonder filled times of my life.
Thank you 905. I live in an apartment overlooking the Scarborough Bluffs.
