Some Gawith Hoggarth Kendal Dark in the big old Castillo Old Antiquari. Gearing up for some tubing out on the creek tomorrow, followed by pool in the afternoon, and fireworks after dark. Hope everyone has a great 4th!

I didn't realize lawyers retire; rather, they just scale back the practice on an "as needed" or interesting issue basis.
Best of luck in your lengthy adjournment.
What's the "go to" pizza place now that DeLuca's shut down? Before I left town (after 18 years), I "toured" various restaurants that I enjoyed. DeLuca's was the last meal.
Burley Delight in an assortment of cobs while tending the garden.
Some 18-year-old Plumcake in a Peterson smooth Mark Twain.
GLP Geometrie in the G1 Northern Briars Regal panel, commissioned in 2018.
Believe it or not, they do retire.
Esoterica Tilbury, thank you to SBC, in an extra large chambered Johs semi-rusticated slightly bent apple thanks to my wife on Christmas 2010. This is one of the finer tobaccos I've enjoyed this year, very good indeed.
I'm planning to rise a little early to put out the flag for July 4, though I may go back to bed after that.
On the subject of retirement, I highly recommend it. However, I would caution you that when you begin to plan your own days and get out of your old career rut, you may find you are busier than before. I thought I'd be deciding whether to read a book or take a walk, and that hasn't been the way it has turned out. Just take an extra B12 and enjoy yourself.

I retired from practicing law as a litigator after 43 years in May and must say, I've found plenty to do around the house. I've also been catching up on movies and reading--it's a pleasure to read things other than case law--socializing, and am planning a trip to Europe and Africa in September. My stress level is almost non-existent, I'm sleeping better and I've even found myself smoking less than I did before. I would highly recommend it as well.
FVF in a Peterson Classic Deluxe 120 PSB - it's a beautiful summer evening, I must say.
McConnell Black Flake in my Nording SON with Evening Prayer:
2015 F & T Cut Virginia Plug in a Pete 302 System. A Bday present birth year Port as desert. Another thanks to @beezer for the tobacco.
I couldn’t remember DeLuca’s name and kept searching for pizza near the airport but nothing turned up. I didn’t realize they had closed! I don’t think anything has taken their place as the go to pizza place. I think people still like Art’s. This was at a place called Slice by Saddleback, the same company that does Saddleback BBQ. It was BOGO Monday so it was most definitely worth it but I probably wouldn’t splurge on it for full price. For me, Jet’s is the best bang for buck.
Amphora’s Special Reserve Black Cavendish in a bent no name billiard.
Well, we got a bit of a break in the heat wave today. At least enough for a porch smoke.
Cringle Flake in a spiral twin-bore Radice silk cut.

Voodoo Tour in my Tendi billiard.
Regent Street in a Stokkebye 4th Generation Churchwarden
Same. I am up near Tomball and I am ready to smoke outside in my winter jacket again right about now. Ready for winter.
