What a day for a daydream
What a day for a daydreamin' boy
And I'm lost in a daydream
Dreamin 'bout my bundle of joy
And even if time, Ain't really on my side
It's one of those days For takin' a walk outside
I’m blowin' the day To take a walk in the sun
And fall on my face On somebody's new Mowed lawn
Good morning all!
Sun's up and shining and all the snow has melted away for a new day of adventure. I have a big mug of NBT's "Georgian Caravan Tea" sitting beside me, awaiting it's fate. A bit too hot to taste yet, but the smell is wonderful! Lightly smoked, like a baby Lapsang Souchong... just ever so delicate... I can't wait to taste it!

They wouldn't. They are the Japanese words for "teapot."

But when I use "Tokoname" as the primary search word, and then select "Images" in Google, I see many variations on that theme of teapot. Perhaps the style of pot takes it name from the name of the place which popularized it.

With things Japanese, they are often referred to without western grammatical prepositions. So rather than 'a teapot from Tokoname,' it would just be called a 'Tokoname teapot.' As the town is famous for its cay works and kilns that produce both tea pots and bonsai dishes, both get called by the same 'first name.'
First taste of the Georgian Caravan tea... very, very similar to McNultey's "Lightly Smoked Lapsang..." Interesting... There is just a bit of roughness to it though. I like that.

Take two. I think a body can never have too many vices.

I don't remember who said it, but whoever said, "If it tastes good, spit it out." did a great disservice to a lot of people. Because for some reason, a lot of people actually DO that... I don't get it.

I'm with you! If it tastes good, have seconds! If it feels good, do it again!

I'm soooo jealous! I stopped smoking twelve years, five months, three weeks, five days, 3 hours, 13 minutes ago (I have a little computer app that tracks this) and I WISH I could have one every so often. But I know me. I couldn't do that. I really don't want one. I want a whole carton. I know that if I even took one drag that within a week I'd be back to smoking two packs a day of unfiltered menthols!

I get enough exercise just pushing my luck. For me, life is too short to spend it sweating in a gym. I'd rather sweat swimming under water, or paddling down a river. Or picking up my motorcycle when I fall down.
Once I learned that the body continues to burn fat even while we sleep, I figured that 'my' best weight loss program was to sleep more!
Exercise as a life style, rather than exercise along side my lifestyle. Which, I'm quite ready to concede, might not enable me to live a longer span, just a happier one. I really am waaaay too lazy.
Back to Georgian Caravan tea... it has a slightly sweet taste around my cheeks. Not on my tongue, but on my cheeks. Weird. Full bodied, a bit earthy and smoky, and most definitely a good brew on a cold day. Yes!! That's it! Where Lapsang Souchong goes better with cold and 'rainy' days, this Georgian Caravan tea is just the ticket for cold and sunny days! It's certainly a tea that I'll re-order! In fact, I think I'll have another cup right now!
