"IF" he grows up..nice touch..lol
I hope you get to feeling better. Cardiac issues are no joke. My father got a pace maker last month and I spent three days in ICU with him. My prayers are with you.
Thanks! I AM more than a bit of a debbil some days. ;) My sympathies to your dad. I had a few days in the heart center back in March when they "installed" one in me too. My heart stopped 5 times in one afternoon. I figure that means I died, so obviously I don't owe anybody any money!

Three Friars in my brand new, arrived from England today, Blakemar Briars Sir Douglas pipe! I've never had a pipe that smoked so well from the first bowl. This must be due to Mike's "torching process" of the tobacco chamber. I love this pipe and I'm very impressed with Mike Billington's work.
I think the entire story of Douglas Bader and his bespoke pipe would be interesting to anyone interested in stories from WW2. Sauvignon blanc is my drink, maybe it should be scotch!
My favorite story about Sir Douglas is how he bullyragged the Germans into getting him a replacement artificial leg after he was shot down. They really regretted it when he then led escape attempts after getting it!
