Hi all, My father-in-law told me about a new program from the post office called "Informed Delivery" that sends an emailed digital black and white scan of that day's mail before it arrives. It basically is another step to ensure mail arrives on time. It also is helpful if you get your mail late...

Another step in lifting the embargo. LINK 

Anyone else convert a patio to a four-season porch? I'm considering it as an option for a 8' x 20'  space that already has a 4" slab foundation and the roof of the house extends over it. Cost isn't major, but I am worried about pulling permits and inspection. 

I've been hitting the gym a lot lately and the elliptical is my favorite machine for cardio, but I'm concerned that the amount of calories I'm burning isn't accurate. I follow the prompt and enter my weight and age for accuracy sake. Each time the machine says I end up burning a little north of...

It’s been a little over three months since my last cigar, and the reason for me leaving my favorite hobby behind announced itself (again) this morning.  I woke up with a racing flutter in my chest. My resting heart rate jumped around from 120 to 160 beats a minute.  Afib. This time it only...

Don't know if any of you have been following SquareCash, but I've been pissed off at poo pal for years, so this no fee way to send cash to anyone, by email of all things, looks interesting as an alternative. Only works with debit card accounts.  ...

Regency Cigar Emporium has some great deals that just made me make my first cigar purchase since 2011. List of Specials.   In addition to their specials, they have 13% $100 or more, and free shipping with coupon code: shipmefree (otherwise it's $8).   Sale and specials end tomorrow 6/29/2013 at...

A kind host graciously shared a bottle of this 20 year old sherry with me. I've never tried sherry before, but I think I'm hooked. Sweet and smoky with a nice complex finish. Any one else tried it?

I haven’t done a review in ages. But I found this very special Cuesta Rey Stanford’s Cameroon Reserve Pyramid #9 and thought what better way to end a hectic semester of teaching than to smoke it alongside a glass of Eagle Rare bourbon. I still remember my first experience with this...

Read the Times Obit. It's pretty great.

It's short. Listen to Gerald Stern read it aloud here. Context is pretty interesting, though it is a sad poem. I had no idea his family was in the cigar biz.

Teaching 84 college freshmen each semester at a university that is more known for its party atmosphere than its educational programs has presented quite a few challenges: 1). Asking the 18 year old female students to please not come to class in a bikini top. 2). Requiring the male students to...

Google Books Ngram Viewer tracks the frequency of words used in books over the centuries. It's pretty cool to type in a word and see how fashionable it was one century before falling out of favor in the next.

Opened up this email today from a vendor: Breaking Habanos News: Several high ranking managers at Habanos have recently been arrested, as far as we can ascertain, it seems to be a case of graft. At least one Central American distributor has also been arrested. Habanos have run...

[Update] She's done. Lord Help me. All that's left now is to seal it. Any ideas on what product I can use? Also, here's a contest. :thumbs: For a nice fiver tell me how many bands/labels/warranty seals it took to cover the damn thing. Contest closes Monday at 11:59 am. Pics below . . ...

Friday morning I woke up at 8:30, my heart was racing. I wasn’t in any pain, I wasn’t short of breathe, so I thought I was fine. I waited around for three hours, but my chest was still pounding. I sat down on my exercise bike and used the pulse reader. It showed my resting pulse rate at 170, so...

I’m looking to pick up a small one so I can carry it on the mile plus walk to class and use during my office hours to listen to music, grade reports, email, surf the web, etc. I want hard drive space and 3G, so I’m leaning toward the Acer Aspire One with 1.6 ghz, 1gig of RAM, 120HD model for...

I ordered some pipe tobacco from John and he included some really nice extras. This pigtail Lonnie was dark and oily. I didn’t expect too much of a difference in flavor from the regular Lonsdale, but I did think it was more complex and smoked much better young than the previous version. I...

Got a Savinelli Natural Vulcanite #11 from Frenchy's. Been breaking it in slow with Dunhill nightcap. More subtle flavors than most cigars. I'm enjoying it. I got some reading to do. :D
