For nearly six years now, I have smoked a pipe. It began as a joke--a gift from my ironic younger sister on the first Christmas after I became an assistant professor--but it has grown into a regular part of my lifestyle. People call me pretentious, some folks stare, so out of date is the pipe as a means of tobacco transference. Sue me. As this ongoing gallery will show, I'm at least in interesting historical company.
