Geez-oh-Petes It's been a long time since I've smoked a cigar. For one thing, I've been smoking pipes lately. But it's also been a bit stressful around here as my 32 year old step daughter has, due to the latest in a series of less-than-reasonable life decisions, moved in with us.

Yeah, Happy F*&king New Year. Why is it that when the kids f*ck up the parents get to pay?

OK, so I think I'll start with a mild cigar since it's been a while. Maybe one of those Ghurka Expedition's, they sound good. And I think I'll even have one WITHOUT walking the dog. Yep, I'm going to actually sit my ass down and read a book, have a beer, and smoke a friggin' cigar.
