From todays Writers Almanac:

It's the birthday of Elvis Presley, born in Tupelo, Mississippi (1935). When he was 18, working as a truck driver, he wanted to give his mom a gift, so he stopped by the Memphis Recording Service, where you could record your own songs for a small fee. He had four dollars, and with that money he was able to record two songs: "My Happiness" and "That's When Your Heartaches Begin." The Memphis Recording Service was also the home of Sun Records, and Elvis caught the attention of owner Sam Phillips, who called the young truck driver back in to see if he had any real talent.

It's the birthday of physicist Stephen Hawking, born in Oxford, England, in 1942. He was at Cambridge, working on his Ph.D., when he was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease. He spent a few months brooding over it, and then realized that he might as well be productive, since he was still alive and doing all right. So he focused his research on the mysterious astronomical objects known as black holes, and he developed new theories about how they function and what role they might have played in the origin of the universe. Stephen Hawking has spent his life pursuing a Theory of Everything. He said: "My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all." He wrote a book for non-science readers, called A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes (1988). It has sold more than 10 million copies.

Top o' the marnin', gents. I am currently enjoying an absolutely astoundingly satisfying bowl of Haunted Bookshop in a largish, smooth finished, Boswell poker. HB seems to favor, at least to me, larger bowls. This tasty morning smoke is accompanied with a steaming mug of Kaladi Brothers (Alaskan company, ultra kick ass) french roast. Outside temp is right at zero, inside I am comfy and sated.

Enjoying a bowl of HOTW in a DeJarnett snail. It sure taste good to me. A great pipe and a darn good tobacco!!

Yesterday, it was G&H Glengarry Flake in a Santos while packing the Ponca Wilderness area of the Buffalo National River.

Earlier I had some Westminster in a billiard. Now I'm smoking ERRd in a Karl Erik bulldog.

Smokey

Natch, what's with all the dead trees? (Just kidding, I live in the Evergreen State)

Rounding out the day with Walnut in a Ben Wade Danish Hand Model 200.
