(lovely darling little things they pretend to be) but you know, the third day, third week, third month....i'm going into my third week. i can taste the little bugger. somebody knock me out for the next 5 months. this has been my only saving. i guess as much as i lament i am "trying", my saving grace has been i refuse to buy a pack of cigarettes anymore. i have told myself, self, if you want a cigarette, you have to go up to lake county and buy a carton. there is no middle ground. it is all or nothing. you will not spend the price of a pack when you can get a carton for two thirds more, and in this rationale, it also means, if i have them i will smoke them. for i am cheap, or thrifty, whichever, and i don't waste anything. so. that one cigarette means i will not ever quit, and i will go through this torture forever and ever and ever and be broke and wasteful buying dirty stinking cigarettes.

Choice and Chance? (In case you're wondering, a local music event update I just read featured Kev Choice... which sort of made me think of you... and then I remembered a friend's son who's named Chance...) See? Everything really is explainable. ;-) I hope Life is treating you well! Much aloha! Maybe write a story... about two brothers... Choice and Chance?
