Nice post Al! Cigars are a good "meditation" tool.

You are a blessed man Al!! Sounds like a great evening, I hope you have many,many more!!

good on you man! You are truly blessed. I hope this thread is around in 13 years when my kids have left, been noticing how much they take away from the spousal relationship

good thing to read on a Sunday evening, thanks

Excellent story my friend. After I read your story I sat at my computer and thought about what you wrote. I found myself reflecting on my own life. You are absolutely right, with work, kids and the hustle/bustle of everyday life we do forget what's really important. I think our wives do get neglected at times. As I think about my wife, I have to say, without her I don't think I would have all these things I consider important or great in life. I know I wouldn't, she's given me pretty much everything I consider precious (except for cigars

). Thanks for making me think, Al.

Cigars work in mysterious ways.

Well said Al.

You are a fortunate man indeed!
Thank you for reminding me that I'm a fortunate man also. My home was robbed last week and I've been a miserable bastard ever since.
Your post made me realize that there are more important things in life than stolen material possessions.
