Happy New Year & 8th day of Christmas to y'all. Funny thing about this Today's Joe offering ... a friend took me out to an upscale cigar bar in DC for my birthday (NYE). I brought the cigars & he bought the food & whiskey. He brought with him a long time friend who is now a Benedictine monk, who also enjoyed a cigar with us. Shoulda taken a photo. So i come home and check the daily deal which is a new DE offering "Smoking Monk"! God's got a sense of humor ; ^{--~~ I tell you, life is stranger & more interesting than fiction. (Good guys). PS, the monk grew up in LA.
