"Brigadoonery"? "TCHD"? Who decides?

[Tobus]

I'm sorry you rarely use your pipe. I had hoped I had found a fellow kilted briarman. My time with my pipes are a much needed respite from a hectic world. I need it for my sense of well being quite as much as I need time in prayer with my Maker, or time with the Missus. Is there something in particular you find objectionable?

No, nothing objectionable. I enjoy smoking my pipe. I just rarely have the time to do it, and I'm normally a cigarette smoker anyway (having failed thus far to adequately submit to society's shame and guilt for that particular pleasure). Since smoking is no longer an acceptable indoor activity, I am generally limited to a quick dash out-of-doors for a quick ciggie. For a while, I was smoking my pipe on my hour-long commute home each day, but I quickly learned that pipe smoke really lays a thick film of tar all over the inside of a vehicle, no matter how much I vent it with my windows. It just wasn't practical.

But I do occasionally find the time to sit on my front porch of an evening with an adult beverage to smoke my pipe and watch the sunset and the critters that come out at dusk.
