Cohiba and International women’s day march. 8th

 I get smoking a Cuban cigar.


Can’t have cigar rings on cigars any more so this is a rarity.  There’s also a shortage of cigars in Canada with plan packing laws now.  I did enjoy journaling those.


I couldn’t believe how good the end cut. I got very excited 😊 about how good the end cut.

Nice and packed, no flaking.

Hard to believe it’s a factory second for it.


No running on the wrapper, nice ash.

I was impressed.  Sweet notes and no dryness on my pallet.  I’m paring a zero Budweiser non alcoholic beer with it.

Some oak notes, I do have a cedar humidor but I find more oak at first I tasted a bit of raisins after it’s lit, and citrus 🍊 at the beginning on dry inhale.  

Milk chocolate 🍫 tasty πŸ‘… sort like the beer 🍺 with gets a mossy taste after a sip of beer.


Leather smell πŸ‘ƒ 


I’m 😊 in a delightful mood.


If at all an Albertan disappointed at how bad groceries and fuel is I’m a bit more concerned about lack of minimum wage increase and the housing boom missing Alberta which is worst than making less or earning less I think everyone can agree we need to democratize property not just for the one percent in corporate backing the GDP billionaires of the right but for nuclear and community families.

 All I see is Another Trump in Canada, Pierre Making it look worse than it is.  And no one’s wages increasing or housing improving.

I got a cigar at least, and I’m enjoying my evening on International women’s day.


I needed a breather,

Cigar night and a good 😊 one at that.


After a second cut to get the soggy end off it’s inhale great


😊 thank goodness I’m done ✅ 



Stuck it in my last moleskine, I’m changing journal brands. And this is my last month using moleskines.

An enjoyable experience I found.

You’d likely knew the history of Cohiba, it’s definitely a women’s movement cigar.

Started and ended my night with Meharis Java 

Couple of these after my Cohiba.

Celebrating Ten Years and Living My Best Life🧘‍♂️ A Quiet Day at Home

  πŸŽ‰ Celebrating 10 Years Together Last night was a beautiful celebration of a decade spent with Kim. We marked our 10-year anniversary with a cozy dinner at The Keg, where I indulged in a hearty 20 oz steak and Kim opted for a more modest 8 oz cut. It felt so good to get out together and enjoy a special evening. We kept things simple—just water to drink, with fresh bread and salad to start. The atmosphere was perfect, and I soaked in every moment of our time together. We’re incredibly grateful for our families, who made the night even more special. My parents generously gave us cash to enjoy our dinner, and Kim’s parents gifted us movie money so we could extend the celebration. Their thoughtfulness reminded us how lucky we are to be surrounded by love and support. Family and friends made it sweeter We were so blessed by our families: my parents gave us cash to enjoy the night and Kim’s parents sent money for a movie treat. Our friends even gifted us a 20% tip card for the meal...

Gratitude, Good Food, and Good Books

 A Thanksgiving weekend of family meals, long walks, and reaching 86 books this year Bryan and I headed out for a walk after he returned from his sister’s Thanksgiving gathering, settling into a steady 30‑minute pace that carried us just under 2 km. The air was crisp with a light breeze, the kind of weather that makes movement feel effortless. I’ve always loved these cooler temperatures—my body doesn’t have to work as hard, and the transition from “easy mode” into a gentle warm‑up felt natural. Carrying 30 pounds with me added that extra layer of challenge, but it blended seamlessly into the rhythm of the walk. We paused at a park bench along the way, taking a moment to sit together before snapping a photo. That small break reminded me how these walks are as much about connection as they are about distance or weight carried. The combination of fresh air, conversation, and the grounding presence of the season made the outing feel restorative. It wasn’t just a walk—it was a reminder...

Plus 12 Celsius Smoke run πŸƒ‍♂️

  The dog and I decided to do either a 3 km run or a 6 km run or 9 km run hoping for 10 km but I couldn’t find the energy to push further. It is smoky out there you could smell it and breath it in. Made me in my threshold if I keep a higher pace than 9 minutes km Cooler morning,  I went and got a sausage homestyle biscuit from Tim’s and an ice coffee ☕️  Just getting my day started. I got a doctors appointment later today over the phone πŸ“ž also. Hoping to take the dog πŸ• for a run πŸƒ‍♂️ this morning but I’m stiff. So hopefully my coffee stop warms me up to get moving this morning. Or just caffeinates me. We managed to do 6.05 km in about 59 minutes. A high heart rate of 172 bpm and an average of 144 bpm. Plus 12 Celsius while I ran but I was in full sweating πŸ˜… by the time I got home 🏑. The last couple weeks I’ve had a low relative effort due to some family losses. But I manage to get out on a smoky day like today for a run. πŸƒ‍♂️  It’s been raining heavily the last...
