What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

[Nachman]

I've been trying to adjust to a new heart medicine that is making me sicker than a dog, so I decided to smoke something mild and popped open a four year old jar of Walnut. It was sort of like smoking a big bowl of hot air after a steady diet of Royal Yacht. I guess it goes back to the cellar for tobaccogeddon.

The sun is shining and there is potential for a day above freezing! Celebrating with a 4Dot of BBF and more coffee, as I think I have brought an online chess game from the brink of disaster to escape with a draw! I sacrificed a pawn early, because I thought I could get his king stuck in the middle, then I had to sacrifice a knight to escape from the mess I got myself into, then I squirmed for a while until I was able to sacrifice the exchange to reduce it down to 5 pawns + rook vs. 2 pawns, a bishop and a rook. Theoretically, material is even. He can't make progress after I liquidate the pawns on the queenside and reduce down to 3 pawns + rook versus 1 pawn + bishop and rook. I feel like a great burden has been lifted. I have been suffering with a loser in this game for 30 moves!

Well played. In chess a draw can be a moral victory. You'll look back on this game with appreciation.

Needed to take a break from the diet of Latakia that I've been on. This bowl should last a long while.

Just finished some Peter Stokkybes Luxury Navy Flake in a Dr. G Grand Duke. With a name like Grand Duke, you'd think it was a pretty impressive pipe, but it's actually pretty tiny. Kind of like naming your French poodle Killer

Currently having some more Navy Flake, this time in a full-size Altinok Meer.
