    Smoke on the Water

    One day, I hope. It may be a while away, but I will do whatever I can to make it happen! Sadly, speaking and writing correctly are becoming dying arts. I hope that someone will attempt to keep them alive.

    A Pipe Writing Contest

    Well, Hemingway was fond of his Champagne and Absinthe, a cocktail known as Death in the Afternoon. That seemed to inspire some good writing! Don't get me wrong, I am a huge fan of Absinthe, but the point remains...
