UPDATED AUG. 20, 2018 When people ask me, “what are you afraid of?” My response is usually, “Hm… uh… well I dunno… spiders maybe?” The fact is, there just haven’t been many things in my life that truly terrify me, although if I were honest I’d say that the idea of moving back to Oregon […]
Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva – Churchill Tonight I enjoyed an Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva Churchill that was given to me by a good friend of mine. I’ve been blessed with many friends, including a few who bless me with cigars from time to time – that is always a treat. I’ve probably had five of […]

Hey blogoshpere; it’s Guy again. For the month of July, I’ve packed up and moved to Rhode Island for a job. True, I miss New York, but a month in a house 500 feet from the beach is not so bad. I’ve been working my ass off, but I’ve managed to sneak off a few […]

Tonight I held the my summer’s first poker & cigar night, and it rocked. Friends brought cigars, drinks, other fine tobaccos, and of course, a poker set. The night was a tad chilly for a summer evening hang-out, but it worked perfectly. On hand were a few cost-effective Mr. B cigars that I’ve seen highly […]
The past week has found me inundated with work from both of my jobs. The first of the two every day is a morning job managing a free lunch program at a local park, and the other is an internship at Cascade Policy Institute where I research limited government solutions to many problems that Americans […]
