I have taken another beating. After being promised I could smoke cigars after I gave up Lucky Strikes, I was informed tonight I can't smoke cigars either. Barb threatened to leave me in 2 1/2 years(when Abby graduates high school) and Abby said she wasn't talking to me anymore, and then told me she really didn't have much to talk to me about the majority of the time anyway. So, rather than putting up with two screaming meanies for the foreseeable future I folded my tent and went home. The Code says you have to respect and defer to women(there are a few of us real men still around who follow the Code) so, the Code comes first, personal pleasure second.
I'm not whining, just noting that SOME PEOPLE don't honor their contracts.
Oh well, I still have Rondell; and that is plenty for this man.

You've been taking a whippin', big man! Glad you have realized that the small pleasures of tobacco are nothing compared to the infinite joy of NOT being the recipient of dirty looks and all that follows. I guarantee that Castro himself would have given up cigars (and likely Communism) if he had the full force of Abbs and Mom to reckon with. So worry not.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to Christmas! All three of you are required to settle your neuroses before Bethany and I come down and take command.
now that you have leaked the existence of the code, we will have to snuff you. sorry, bro.
ReplyDeleteand despite all the fireworks over what you smoke (or now do not smoke)we had a great thanksgiving at your place.
