As you might have surmised, I am an artist, first and then the rest of the distractions. Some of my work is displayed here. I work primarily in Pen and Ink, but I do many things in colored pencil. There are links to some of my other things on this page. Please feel free to visit.
I recently gave up smoking cigarettes, but not my pipe. It may make me an anachronism, because I don't see anyone else doing it, but, so be it. At my time of life, the pleasurable endeavors seem to be more important. Smoking my pipe, drinking a little wine and eating CHOCOLATE are fun! And who's to say they may be wrong? I'm healthy and I enjoy these endeavors and so I've decided to promote them here. Anyone willing to share their thoughts regarding these enjoyments are welcome. Please comment. You know, I am first and foremost an artist and as such, I would like to allow you to get to know my work. I will be posting it here and links to art. Hope you enjoy them.

JUST THINKING: Did you know that you should "rest" your pipe? That's right...pipes need time to dry out and so you need more than one and you should let a day go by without smoking one of them. I have several and I just pick one up when I feel the urge and try to stick with that one for the day. Oh, and run a pipe cleaner through them often.
PIPE SWEETENERS: Although they are hard to find, they are invaluable for cleaning and sweetening a pipe. They come in a small bottle and are made of honey, alcohol, and some other ingredients, I'm not familiar with. Dip your pipe cleaner in the solution and run it through the stem and then the bowl. Almost like having a new pipe. They are inexpensive and can be found online, but are well worth the effort to acquire and use.
DRINKING WINE CAN BE GOOD FOR YOU!
You know that eating fish is a great way to get more heart-healthy omega-3s. But drinking wine?
Seems so. Wine itself doesn’t have any omega-3s, but research suggests that a bit of wine -- not too much, not too little -- somehow boosts blood levels of the fatty acids.
Just 30 calories per day of chocolate may be enough to help reduce your blood pressure. As far as serving sizes go, that’s about a Hershey’s Kiss worth.
