THE BLOB

Wednesday already. 14 more shopping days until Christmas. Some of the sales I see in my inbox are just so tempting like 20% off Peterson tins at Smokingpipes. A couple days ago after the third delivery truck pulled up I declared that my shopping for the year is DONE! It would be hard to make such a bold statement then fill up my shopping cart with DeLuxe Navy Rolls. Very tough position to be in.

The Pickin' and Pipin' Secret Santa enrollment is now closed. There are a lot of people participating this year which is great to see. Can't wait for all the videos of people opening up their presents. Those are always fun, especially when some Smartie Bob shares.

Speaking of videos, I'm glad The Castello Codger is living up to his statement of putting out a video every week or two. Getting back in the groove. Possibly even having the Honorable Padre Piper joining him occasionally along the way. I loved his last video, I remember it well because back then I had hair. Those were the days.
