Better Late Than Never

On Monday we celebrated five years of freedom from cigarettes and had hoped to compose a commemorative post but circumstances intervened and we wound up working too much too far from The Point. We hope that this post, like quitting smoking, is better late than never.

We started smoking in our late teens which is later than average and much later than this fellow or this one who apparently was not allowed to play with matches. We're glad we quit before we got old or wrinkled like Keith. Oops, sorry Keith.

Oddly enough, we didn't know till now about the "proper" or "correct" smoking techniques. Our methods were modeled on Bogie's but did Bogie learn from Kate?

In the working world smoking was often about a "breather" or break but this chap was probably trying to avoid succumbing to black lung.

Our only regret is that since we've been keeping away from cigarettes we won't be able to make use of any of these fancy smoker's gadgets.

So remember; don't let tobacco make a monkey out of you.
