    How Did You Quit Cigarettes?

    I agreed to stop smoking cigarettes in the house, and I got tired of "punching the clock" in terms of regularly going outside to smoke. The idea that cigarettes are more of a job than an enjoyment started to really grate on me. At the same time I tried some VA flake, and that did the trick. I...

    The After Midnight Club

    Just got back from midnight Mass. All Latin, and preceded by Part I of Handel's Messiah. Now it's time for some champagne, some fruitcake, and, I think, some FM OTT.

    Snow For The Holidays

    It's snowing here now in northern VA - cue all the crazy drivers! Panic! Chaos! Wife has a harp gig this afternoon - snow doesn't help; it's a pain to move in good weather. And it's not even our church. Meh. OTOH, it probably won't stick...
