And drinking that whisky. I had returned to Topeka, and I was once again working at the Sante Fe Hospital, but Mom had moved back to Enid to take care of her mother, so I was kinda adrift.</P> <P>But... my old friend Ginny had offered me a place to stay, with her and her husband Bob Mast. So I did that for a year or so. In the meantime, I wrecked my car and lost my college tuition.</P> <P>I decided to switch back to smoking a pipe, and I did for the next several years... no cigarettes for me, no, the girls really likes pipe=smokers, and I could do that.</P> <P>I finally moved into my own apartemnt, a basement utility in an older house at 15th and Harrison, and got a girlfriend. She didn't much like the pipe, so I went back to the cigarettes, 3 packs a day. Larks, to be specific.</P> <P>I married the girlfriend, probably the worst mistake that I have ever made in my life, and continued smoking those Larks, alternating with the pipe.</P> <P>I more or less alternated with the pipe and the cigarettes until after the divorce, when I started smoking a pipe exclusively again.</P> <P>Pipes... pipes were cool. And at this time, I didn't really care what the girls thought, I like pipes, and I liked smoking them, and that was that.</P> <P>And then, 1989 happened. November 15th.</P> </font> </td></tr></table><P> <a href="smoke001.html">Part I</a><BR> <a href="smoke002.html">Part II</a><BR> <a href="smoke003.html">Part III</a><BR> <a href="smoke004.html">Part IV</a><BR> <a href="smoke006.html">Part VI</a><BR> <a href="smoke007.html">Part VII</a><BR> <a href="smoke008.html">Part VIIII</a><BR> <a href="smoke009.html">Part IX</a><BR> <a href="smoke010.html">Part X</a><BR> <a href="smoke011.html">Part XI</a><BR> <a href="smoke0012.html">Part XII</a><BR> <table><caption align=top>All material ©1998 by Doug Franklin</caption><table border> <tr> <td><a href="../Index.html">Nilknarf Main Menu</a></td> <td><a href="mailto:nilknarf@nilknarf.net">Mail Me!</a></td></table> </center> <a name="view"> <center> <a href="http://nilknarf.net/smoke/"> <img src="srj002.jpg" width=115 height=70 border="0"></a><br> This <a http://nilknarf.net/srj.htm"> Smoke-Ring Journal</a> site <br> is owned by <a href="mailto:nilknarf@nilknarf.net">Doug</FONT> </a>. <BR> Want to join the <A HREF="http://nilknarf.net/srj.htm"> Smoke-ring Journals</A></FONT>? <BR><B> [<a href="http://www.webring.org/cgi- bin/webring?ring=srj&id=1&prev" target="_top">Prev</a>] [<a href="http://www.webring.org/cgi-bin/webring?ring=srj&id=1&next" target="_top">Next</a>] [<a href="http://www.webring.org/cgi-bin/webring?random&ring=srj" target="_top">Random</a>] [<a href="http://www.webring.org/cgi-bin/webring?ring=srj&list" target="_top">List Sites</a>] <br> </center> </a> </font> </BODY> </HTML>
