Hohenthal Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Just a few days ago my 10 year old daughter Theresa participated in a regional competition on the piano and won first place after only 2 1/2 years of lessons. As some of you know I am a concert violinist and at the time on concert tour myself that day but we spoke on the phone as many times as my schedule allowed, sure enough I was more nervous than she was and my lovely wife must have been beside herself. Given her great talent I knew in advance she would be doing great but when the results came through I was so full of pride. Then my 7 year old son Johannes asked me yesterday: "Dad, what is it about the cigars you like so much?" I said: "What would you like to know?" "Where they come from, the different sizes and so on..." So I told him in brief about this and that. Then he asked: "Would you care to show me some of the boxes so I can smell?" So I did. First I handed him a '05 Quai D'Orsay Panetela, he said: "Hm, like brown leaves" "Like Autumn, you mean?" "Yes" Next I grabbed a box of Rey del Mundo Demi Tasse. "Much stronger!" "Sweeter? I asked "Yes, and more aromatic!" Then an Upmann Royal Robusto: "Oh I like the looks of these! Dry nuts and hay!" A genuine father and son moment! I love them beyond words.

CanuckSARTech Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Very cool. Kudos and congrats. It's getting close to the time when I can starting teaching my little ones piano, and I'll look forward to that stuff in the future as well. Living vicariously through you right now, though. Way to go, sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
