Good morning everyone! Been floating about since 5 AM East Coast time getting my day underway and catching up on a few things from yesterday. I have read the morning papers both in the U.K and over here, although the way things are going in this part of the world I am surprised the government hasn't suggested that to aid in reducing our carbon foot print we really only need one newspaper of record - strangely that would probably be The NY Times! I am smoking some Warrior Plug in this rather fun, short meerschaum 'cutty' pipe made in France sometime towards the end of the 19th century. By putting my desk diary underneath the pipe it gives you some idea of scale and size, it is perfect for smoking with an Espresso or two. Enjoy your day and as our Japanese friends say 'Be happy in your work'! I'll look in on everyone later in the morning.
