TIS & DC,

This is great news. Will it be difficult? Absolutely. Do you have an extended BB "family" that's standing behind you with encouragement, positive thoughts and support? Again, absolutely.

It's important to find the way that best works for you. There's no one special "magic bullet". But, I'm sure this is old news to you both.

You know me, so you know why I have my own particular reasons for seeing folks I care about quit smoking, if that's what they've made up their minds to do.

The only other thing I can say is please have frequent chest X-rays, and anything else your doctors recommend.

I'll get off the soapbox now.

Signor V.


"For me, there's only my wife..."

"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"

"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"

"It was a grass harp... And we listened."

"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"

"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
