I am at a loss. I don't recognize the symbol. Enlighten me.

Finally getting to celebrate the beginning of my 57th journey around the sun the way I wanted but a day late. Spent yesterday bar and restaurant hopping with friends in Nashville. Got home late, and after copious amounts of barrel proof bourbon had a bowl of Dorchester that tasted like a Drum hand rolled. Not that that was a bad thing at the moment. Mostly sobered up today and now celebrating my way. 2004 Dark Star in the Altinay with a two finger pour of Glenrothes 18-year-old. Chilling on the couch with some good tunes. The shot glass has been my wife’s motto for the last 29 years. Live long and prosper my friends.

Already moving on to some Mark Twain in a Randy Wiley Galleon I bought in the 90’s. It’s a hot day so a gin and tonic and listening to Steve Kuhn play Wisteria will complete this late afternoon diversion

Nearing the half way mark on this bowl of year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. Had a great pipe zoom today. Cleaned a few pipes, too. Now watching the rest of the Braves-Marlins game.

This evening I was sitting in a lawn chair sipping Autumn Evening in the Vauen Olaf bent egg and saying my prayers when I thought I heard chewing. I turned and an eastern cotton tail was about two feet from me eating the leaves of some ground vegetation (I don't know name - it has tiny gladiola like flowers) looking up at me ! They haven't come that close before. Very peaceful !

My daily Acadian Perique from a Barker sandblast while I enjoy this severe storm that's settling in. @Chasing Embers , you'd be proud of this one.

Relaxing after a wonderful rainbow trout and mashed potatoes dinner with sliced peaches and apples for dessert. I'm passing the first third of this bowl of year 2014 Full Virginia Flake in a straight 1968 Dunhill Shell bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Deciding on what to watch on TV.


Happy birthday, @TN Jed !
