Hey Y’all, It’s been a while. It’s Christmastime!! It’s the time of year when we share time and gifts with family and friends. For some…if you’re crazy, you feel even more KRAZY!!! For myself I ponder on the particular kind of ASS I am. YUP! I said it…I’m an ASS!!! Don’t worry my lovely friends, I have no readers…I’m safe. It doesn’t seem much like Christmas cuz some of the people that I used to spend Christmas with are not on this Earth anymore. Hence the title- “Shoulda, Coulda,Woulda”!!!
I recently began indulging in the luxurious vice of cigar smoking. Now the tag line of this site is “More money, More time , More LIFE!!” So don’t take up smoking!! It’s expensive, time consuming, and I’m pretty sure it can kill ya!! But getting back to the “More life” part of it, and the title of this post…(bear with me, I think I’m going somewhere with this). The more I “dabble” in this cigar thing, I see the pleasure and reason why “WE” do it.
My DAD!! I miss him!! He used to be the soul of our family. When I was a younger, “SMARTER” man…when I knew it all, I was quite the ASS with my DAD. I always thought He had a lot to learn, He always asked me the same questions and made the same remarks. I used to think to myself “doesn’t He have anything else to say??” Now all the shoulda, woulda , coulda’s all come back and kick me in the ass!! I won’t go through all of them, but now when I sit in the back yard of “our” house and smoke my $13 cigars I wish I could share one with my Pops!!
He always had a way of appreciating life, anything, any little thing!! He would express his joy very vocally….I miss that!! I can almost hear him enjoying a good cigar. He would have never payed $13 for a cigar because He was smart, and would have rather put food on our table or play a round of golf!! 
If I could just go back in time and sit and smoke a great stogie and drink a good beer with Him and chat…or not chat. Maybe just sit there and take in a little bit of the good life with my dear Father, so that He could know that He was not only loved, but appreciated!! Yes, that’s in the right order. My Pops knew He was loved but I’m pretty sure He felt unappreciated and possibly not as liked as He would have wanted. All the shoulda, woulda, coulda’s don’t mean a thing today, It’s too late, too late because my Pops is long gone…I miss Him!!
So yeah…It’s Christmas time, time for all the get togethers. Make the most of them my dear friends, life is short. “Shoulda, Woulda ,Coulda” don’t let that be your reminiscence at the tail end of this FABULOUS LIFE.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
Bottoms-up enjoy ur beer!! KZ
