Now till Retirement

Well, I am completely stressed. Tonight’s the night of my Christmas party. I am having several people from the hospital come, and am going to try and round up the guys for a round of cigars. Even those who don’t normally smoke, will have to, just as a friendly gesture. Afterall, it’s just a shame not to smoke on a celebration….like a holiday. Well, that’s all for now. I’ll be posting some pics of the new look and the finished humidor hopefully next week. Goodbye for now everyone.

Hello again all; here’s a fun story for everyone to enjoy this evening. About 2 weeks ago, 2 of my dogs decided to escape. Normally, they come home on their own and everything is happy go lucky. This time wasn’t the case. One did indeed return home, while the other stayed out wandering. It was very foggy and cold, and I was beginning to worry. I woke up on Saturday morning, hoping to find Chloe (the one who was insistent on staying gone) laying in the front yard. As I opened the door, being barefoot mind you, I drug it across the top of my big toe, in a rather face motion. Needless to say, it blasted extreme, horrific, and blinding pain into my body. So much pain that it was bleeding from under the nail. Well, today, I was examining it, always hoping for the best, and my nail has almost completely come off. I have about 1/4 of my big toenail left. Trust me, it’s not as painful as it sounds, because most of the tissue has died which keeps the nail intact. So, just a little amusing story for you….and a cheap shot for some sympathy. There are two things I HATE, which are stubbing your toe (especially to the point of bleeding) and hitting your shins (especially on a trailer hitch on the back of the truck). Oh well, you can’t win them all I suppose. G’Night everybody.

Well, after months of work (primarily due to timing issues) the cigar room/game room is finished. This is the room where I built my walk-in humidor. Not a bad little room just to kick back, light up a good cigar, and be zone out for a few hours. A good friend of mine, Bret Holloway, and myself broke in the room last night. After he gave my my Rocky Patel, I offered him to try an Arturo Fuente Hemingway, which pleased him as well (I hope). We sat in the room for a good 3 hours before finally calling it a night. Now I just need to purchase and air purifier to place in the corner of the room..not that I mind the cigar smoke smell…but others, such as my lady, do. All in all not a bad night. I’ll post pictures of the room and humidor at a later date. I still have to prepare for my Christmas party I’m throwing at my house on Friday, in which the cigar room will be used again I’m sure.
