Hello Summah! 
I pretty much hate summer. It's my least favorite season.

One thing I've always hated about summer is summer clothes, mostly because I don't like how I look in them.

Smoke-Free 500 
Look! I had my last cigarette 500 days ago! Right: I haven't had as much as a drag of a cigarette since January 1, 2005.

Hot dog!

On very drunk nights last year, I'd have Smash puff smoke in my face for me to secondhandedly inhale. A few weeks ago I held a lit cigarette for Heather B. who was rummaging through her purse. No problemo. As Heather C. said to me early on, "You're a nonsmoker now." [Gah! So uncool!] "Nonsmokers don't smoke." [That woman is very wise. Thank you!]

And thank you to everyone who has cheered me on, especially Brady, Heather C. and Will. It means a great deal to me. :)

If you're in NYC and want to come celebrate with me and my pals, come by Kettle of Fish for happy hour tonight!

"Stupid Design" 
Quote of the Week

Last night, astrophysicist and director of the Hayden Planetarium Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson said that if there are enough exceptions to any theory, then one should probably throw the theory out. So it would follow that if we could find enough examples of "stupid design," Intelligent Design ("a philosophy of ignorance, not a philosophy of discovery") could be dismissed. He cited many, many great examples of "stupid design" in the universe. My favorite ...
