Good luck, Amy! Avoiding chronic bronchitis is a worthy goal.

ION, I just ordered a fun looking bag from Betabrand, but am chagrined to realize I won't get it until March, and that only if sufficient other people order it... [link]

Well, in March I may get a nice surprise, of either a new bag, or cash back.

Hurricane Jose, which had been trundling up to New England, is making another loop and appears to be planning to come ashore as a tropical storm or depression in New Jersey. Unless it loops around again.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

You can do it, Amy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck, Amy!

I hate this edge-of-Jose weather we're having, although I know it's nothing bad. But cloudy for two days, a little windy, SUPER humid, and raining on and off with temps in the 60s is not my favorite.

Why did my meeting at the end of the day turn into discussing Hamilton? Work-related reasons, actually, but here was the funny story: Someone's 10-year-old daughter was very tentative about asking what one of the words meant, because she thought it must be a Bad Word. Which one? Scotsman. Ha!!!

Wish me strength?

Strength~ma. I used Chantix when I decided to quit smoking about 5 years ago now, and I haven't relapsed yet. You can email me if you want to chat about it.

I'm exhausted and I'm super behind on my inbox because I'm mostly having a lot of meetings while I'm in NYC. The meetings have been productive, but now I am catastrophically behind on everything else.

That's hilarious!

Data point of one, Amy, my friend found Chantix so effective he didn't even take the whole course, because he didn't need it anymore. You can do it!

I want Matt to know that description presented most vividly. That was really something.

Because books.

Thanks, people! I am definitely going to need some cheerleading, I think. And shrift, I may take you up on that -- Chantix is one of those drugs where the possible side effects make me a little wary.

But cloudy for two days, a little windy, SUPER humid, and raining on and off with temps in the 60s is not my favorite.

Same, except here the temp is near 80 every day, and I hate it. I want fall.

We're going to have lows near freezing here in Utah for the next couple of days.

I have purchased a bottle of wine! Because why not, regrets are for Future Me! I'm still waiting on my Cuban food to arrive, though.

And shrift, I may take you up on that -- Chantix is one of those drugs where the possible side effects make me a little wary.

I totally had concerns going in due to the possible side effects, so I hear you.
