ASP-er's lament

Sorry I don't post much anymore due to time pressures. But felt a
need to share the passing of my father a month ago. today, I smoked a
bowl of 5 year old Cut Virginia Plug in a pipe he bought for me from
Greece. While my father was not a pipe smoker, he seemed to embrace
my pipe smoking. I am still grieving, but this little bent pipe from
the base of the Acropolis was so comforting, I can't find the words to
adequately describe it.

The tobacco was wonderful as well. Well, just thought I'd share.
