A Great Celebration

This month’s Cigar Aficianado magazine opens with an article which I will quote the first paragraph…

“You probably have seen the pics- after the Canadian womens’ hockey team defeated the U.S. team in the Olympic gold-medal match in Vancouver in February, they came back out on the ice to celebrate with Champagne and cigars. From the reaction of the International Olympic Committee, you’d think they had committed a felony. Let us give our point of view: WE LOVE THESE WOMEN.”

First I would like to say how much I love this WordPress app onmy new Google phone. If I am away from the house and I see something thatt sparks my writing interests, I can write about it immediately without having to wait to get home.

Last, how does this messaage above relate to me? Or to you? Perhaps we should not worry about judging or condeming each other, or people we don’t know. Instead, if we live in harmony with one another, regardless if others do something we don’t agree with, what business do we have telling them they are wrong. Be curtious to one another, love one another, as Chris has loved us.

Dinner with Friends for Restaurant Week

Last night we had dinner reservations at Victory Tavern at Victory Plaza in Dallas. For restaurant week, they had a special menu with a 4-course meal, the options you could choose for each course, with a set price of $35/person. Emily and I went with one of my friends from work, Mike, and his girlfriend Brooke.

Afterwards we stopped at Havana Social Club, a cigar bar right next to the Tavern. There was a write-up in the Dallas Morning News about the cigar bar a couple of months ago, saying they were one of the last places in Dallas where you could still smoke indoors. The atmosphere here was quite nice, it is wedged in between the American Airlines Center, Victory Tavern and a WFAA News Room, where we saw a live broadcast of the 10:00pm News being shot. There is a large concrete area in between all these, with large-screen TVs showing ads and commercials for the area and restaurants around Victory Plaza.

Mike and I each had a Arturo Fuente Cuban Belicoso, which were $11 each. The price was a little high, but you pay for the atmosphere, so it was worth it to me. I’m looking forward to going back there soon.
