Another dog training week has come and gone, but this time the weather was actually pleasant! After an orientation with snow flurries, a week of rain and mud, and a thunderstorm which canceled a class, I was loosing hope in actually having a nice night to train the pup. After a ridiculously hot April day [...]
After breaking the Davidoff cycle with a Don Pepin Garcia Serie JJ, I thought I would jump right back on the horse and burn through one of my three remaining Davidoff samples. This time I touched flame to a Davidoff Millennium in a Lancero format. The Positive: Excellent draw Good smoke volume Beautiful construction Smooth [...]
A couple of weeks ago I was over a friends house having a cigar in his office. After about an hour of solving all of the worlds problems, the topic changed to movies. We got to talking about movies with happy endings and how neither one of us really liked the ones where things ended [...]
On Saturday my wife and I had to make a stop in West Reading to visit a family member in the Reading Hospital. After our visit, my wife made mention of stopping somewhere for lunch. Having eaten at a place called GNA on a few occasions, we planned to have lunch there. Like always, I [...]

After dragging myself out of bed on a rainy Monday morning, I had to put my planned yard work on hold and find something to do for a bit while the weather cleared up. I grabbed myself a cup of coffee and lit up a cigar before deciding on watching the fifth of six movies [...]
As I continue right along with my John Wayne Collection, I watched the fourth movie of six, Texas Terror. This film was featured in 1935 and runs for 53 minutes. With about half of my El Cobre left, I went ahead and hit play on my DVD player to continue my Saturday night movie session. [...]
Last week I went on to tell you all about the obedience class Syrus and I attended. It was dreary, cold, and wet. This week the weather was beautiful earlier on in the day, so I was looking forward the weather during class. At 6:00 PM my wife and I packed up the car and [...]
Over the last two weeks I have been hopping onto Twitter at the start of my day and mentioning that I am having a cigar and coffee while I catch up on my day to day computer activities. This generally leads to some questions in regards to what cigar and coffee pairing I am going [...]
Before calling it a night on Saturday night, I decided to light up an El Cobre and pop in another film from my John Wayne Collection. This time around I watched the third movie in the series, West of the Divide. This movie was featured in 1934 and runs 52 minutes in length. This movie [...]
I had an hour to kill on a Saturday morning and thought I would pick up where I left off on my John Wayne collection. The film I watched next is Rainbow Valley. The film hit the scene in 1935 and features a young John Wayne. This is one of several “B Westerns” that John [...]

Every year at Christmas, my in-laws put together a Pollyanna. It normally consists of about 8-10 people and price cap is set to around $30.00. Each year I put together a short list of odds and ends that I would enjoy having. This year, among other things, I listed a generic item entitled “Random John [...]
Today I have a first impressions review of a cigar that many of you are probably very familiar with. That cigar is the Don Pepin Garcia Serie JJ. Due to the price of these cigars locally, and even the online price, I haven’t had a whole lot of interest in dropping the cash on one. [...]
Just a few minutes before writing this post, I walked through my front door with Syrus. Our first Dog Training class was complete and I couldn’t be happier with the little guy. We had a couple of stressful moments but in the end it exceeded my expectations. Just like kid on his first day if [...]
