We celebrated our 49th. year of "her not killing me" with dinner at Chicago's Italian Village Restaurant, one of our favorites.
Bombay Sapphire Martini, up, for me, and G&T for Linda.
A "Captain's Salad," prepared at the table, was followed by Scaloppini ala Toscanini (beef marinated and cooked in a Barolo wine sauce with mushrooms), and complimented with glasses of a very nice Barbera wine. A cannoli for Linda and tiramisu for me, with an espresso.
When we got home, I enjoyed a Partagas Serie D No. 4, out under the gazebo, as we sipped some port, to keep us warm.

Happy Anniversary! 49 years is a hell of a stretch. Great choice for dinner. The Village is one of the best places to eat in or near the loop, and that’s saying something. (Boy, I miss downtown Chicago ... )

Congratulations!

Couldn't sleep, and have a need to do a few things around the house, so I'm up and a quarter of the way through this bowl of circa year 2000 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 1982 black sandblasted paneled slight bend Savinelli flat bottom sitter with a black vulcanite saddle stem.

Happy anniversary, @dino !

A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 1945 Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company Good Old Summer-Time in a 1979 pebble relief Verona Corallo 3080 natural Oom Paul with a black acrylic saddle stem. Have enough for one more bowl. Haven't smoked this pipe in quite a while, but it's a very good smoker.

Half way through this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Yoshimi's Vizmir in a medium bend smooth paneled 2017 Celebi Turkish Meerschaum with a gold and black swirl acrylic tapered stem. Didn't have enough to fill the bowl as I jarred the rest.

Trying some recently acquired Squadron Leader for the first time. The Barling post transition bulldog seemed like the appropriate pipe. Sunday morning SF Chronicle Sporting Green and coffee to start the day. I can actually see blue skies this morning!C4CDC3E4-1E97-4DD2-8869-F3CE7637C0A7.jpeg

Just past the half way mark on this bowl of 1960s Ogden’s Gold Block in a 1979 brown grain etched Lane Era Charatan's Make medium bend calabash shape 483DC with a black vulcanite double comfort stem. When this is done, I'll catch a few zzzzzs before my regular Sunday Zoom chat.
