re: #51 Backwoods_Sleuth

I quit smoking about a few years ago, and then I quit drinking…all with an eye on the fact that I’m getting on in years and trying to live healthy so maybe I’ll get a few more years.

Now I’m kinda wondering if the tradeoff was worth it.

As an ex-smoker who loved it, I am thinking of emulating Lenny Cohen (may he rest in peace), who said he’d take it up again in his 80s. And was photographed smoking on his 80th birthday. Keith Richard has suggest smack for those in their 80s but I don’t think I’ll go that route. Oh, I shall be 70 next birthday, but it’s quite a long way off. Weed and scotch should get me that far, and overall I’m pretty healthy. Still miss smoking, though.
