Still around - a good day

[kieveryuu]

With all of the snow, wind, and rain as well as the fact that I cannot smoke in the apartment I have not had a good pipe in while. That changed today. Have never been one to really do anything about my birthday other than note its passing. However, I have a small group of friends, slowly made over the last 6 or so years, which suggested it might be worth my time to use it as a chance to get together with them. That idea mostly sunk in and now that it is my birthday and I am in Boston, they are not at hand to join me for a beer or whisky and a lot of good conversation. Forget the birthday, I just want the conversation and to be around people who appreciate a good drink and either like or do not mind my pipe. Thankfully I have met one guy here who is a pipe smoker, a philosopher, a whisky drinker, a well rounded and all around nice guy. He was kind enough to join me at one of the local cigar bars for a whisky and a pipe. It was a nice change of pace.

As you see, I am still around, however, the new semester is well underway and that does not leave me with a lot of time unfortunately.

Back to my work. Thanks for being here.

Sounds like things are going good, Kiev!

Focus on what you need to, we're not going anywhere.
Check in when you can and stay warm.
