72 Smoke Free Hours

3 full smoke free days under my belt and so far so good. I've not killed anyone. Not even been tempted. But I reserve to right to change my mind as the day progresses. I figure I've already saved at least $13 by not smoking. My sense of taste has already returned in full. I can't shake the taste of the wicked onion I had at Unky Rory's yesterday. My sense of smell has rebounded somewhat. Feels nice to be smoke free. Lets see how long I can go.

Great point brought up by Unky Rory yesterday...who replaces Jerry Lewis on the MDA telethon when he dies? Regis would be the ideal pick but he's old too. Dick Clark? Older and hard to understand post stroke. Ryan Secrest hosts everything but I don't see him doing it. My pick? Jay Leno. He's gonna be out of work in two years.
