Did a little low calorie snacking, and am a third of the way through 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. Watching The Wild Wild West.

I had a pipe last Thursday. I think I caught Norovirus and haven't smoked or eaten since I went to be Thursday night. This morning I have a glimmer of respite? hope? improvement. My body temperature regulator has been all out of whack and I've been keeping my condo at 75 degrees. The gut has been a source of discomfort and I've been basically bedridden for 3 days. This stuff is not fun. I've tried to figure out where I might have picked it up and it's basically 2 places. Where I got groceries or when I took a neighbor to the local elementary school to get his grandson. I've read about it this morning and it isn't airborne, so, that second scenario might be a stretch.
I didn't have diarrhea. Just vomiting the first day, and really feeling awful the rest of the time.

Had quite the treat tonight. My nephew recently came into a tin of Frog Morton Cellar and was kind enough to share it with his old uncle.
I had it in a Savinelli 114KS.

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and then smoked a bowl of year 2012 Virginia Spice in a 1979 brown grain etched Lane Era Charatan's Make medium bend calabash shape 483DC with a black vulcanite double comfort stem. It's been quite a while since I smoked this pipe, although it saw heavy action for the first twenty years that I owned it. It's still a great smoker.

Last smoke of the day is year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 2015 Basil Meadows Bing Crosby Merchant Service replica with a smooth straight thin shank, aluminum band and black ebonite stem. This was the first “Bing” that Basil made. Tomato the Brave was on my lap for a while, and when he got thirsty, he went to the kitchen. Daisy the Feral Princess was laying by my feet, and when she saw Tomato walking away, she jumped on my lap. Sleepy Suzy has been laying on the left arm of my chair for several hours, mostly sleeping, so she never chased either Tomato or Daisy away as she usually does. She's by my side right now. Daisy's snoozin' on her blanket after eating some dry food.
