Reaching a Milestone...Breathing it all in....

It's been said that sixty is the new forty...

and whoever started that rumor is,

obviously nowhere near sixty...

It's somehow surprising that I got here 

with all the smoking I did from the age 

of ten till I quit for good a few years ago.  

Had I continued,  the book never would 

have gotten written. I would have lost the 

capacity to breathe without serious medical 

assistance. I would have been too busy 

coughing to do anything.

I'm saving more than $5,000 in upcoming health 

provider program costs for being a non smoker.

So will you at this age if you don't smoke. 

It's worth it.

It's truly what they call a new lease on life...

I don't get winded, I feel great; I can smell and taste 

and I no longer smell like a slow moving forest fire. 

Free.

I am smoke free...and am living to tell about it... 

Mozart, Baryshnikov, Lewis Carroll, Johnny Melville, Billy Scudder and 
Keith Olbermann....what company I've been keeping through the years...
