Hey Erik,

Welcome to the asylum. I hear you on the cold. Just got a new estate from Frenchy and I've been dying to try it out. Tomorrow will be the first time for a couple of weeks when warmish weather and free time might coincide with each other.

Congrats on the pregnancy.

What's to be so busy about? She does all the preggers-type work! You just sit back and let the bun get done... :D

How you doin'? Pretty darn quiet over here in this almost-a-pipe-forum.

You wife being pregnant is the most exciting thing that's happened since the Escudo supply got tight. :D When's she due?

If it's your first I strongly suggest you and Mrs. BigE610 take the opportunity to go out as often as you can, anywhere, for anything. Go to the movies. Stay up late. Do it now 'cause it's gonna be a while...

Boy, I can second that advice. :tu If you can swing it, go on a short vacation and try this soon-to-be-missed concept of sleeping-in. I remember way back a few years ago when I slept in.... it was fun.:D

Anyway, on the pipe front, I finally broke down and picked up a Benton starter pipe and a few ounces of tobacco. I did it to enjoy in the garage in the winter, as the smell is much more bearable to the misses. After 5-10 bowls, I am really starting to enjoy this.

One thing is for sure, with all the pipe tobacco offerings out there, this will not become a boring hobby anytime soon.

Sorry for the threadjack. Congrats on the impending new addition.
