Really, one of the easier accomplishments of my life. Easier than dumping my ex-girlfriend, and easier than deciding on my next pair of ski boots. Anyway, this nonsense that smoking is so addictive is a crock of ****, almost as big of a myth as global warming. Depends on the individual. My husband quit, was cranky for a few days and that was it. I tried various will-power type methods and then nicorette gum (which was really good for when you couldn't smoke in meetings!) for a couple of years. 16 years later it still smells wonderful when somebody else is smoking, and if I had only 6 months to live I'd start smoking again. Anyway, that was always the best smoke of the day...the one right after a good steep n' deep run. They were all good, even the ones when I had a cold with lots of coughing -- then I switched to menthols! -- Cheers, Bev ---------------------------------------------------------------- "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." --Ernst Jan Plugge |

Dude, dude, you'd've been proud of me. While simultaneously drunken airborn on my bike and assisting in an emergency breech delivery, I suffered an acromioclavicular separation. Didn't hurt much until the concussion wore off. There! That's more like it. Your bike wreck wasn't in 'Nam was it? THat would have been good for bonus points. I begged for percocets, but here in Japan we are apparently made of sterner stuff. It's harder to assess pain over there because you "Orientals" are so "inscrutable." Dave |

wrote this crap: How's the addiction working out for you? I don't know about him, but I smoke to be more irritating. It works out good too. Can you smoke in Tony Packo's? Nope. $100 fine if caught smoking in any business establishment inside the city. My T-shirt says, "This shirt is the ultimate power in the universe." |

And then there's Mammoth...
I did a whole season of Mammoth, from Santa Monica - weekends only. The thought of adding 1.5 to 2.0 hours onto that trip doesn't conjure up good thoughts. But you do what you have to do. I understand that even New Yorkers ski. TCS (The Colorado Skier) The Colorado ski season is temporarily closed. |

Hey Olaf:
If you actually do play golf at Hound Ears, please ask around and see if the ski area is still visible - and lift remnants,etc. TCS - lost ski area fanatic TCS (The Colorado Skier) The Colorado ski season is temporarily closed. |

The thought of adding 1.5 to 2.0 hours onto that trip doesn't conjure up good thoughts. But you do what you have to do. I understand that even New Yorkers ski. A really good season for me is: 1 or 2 Sundays plus 1 or 2 weekdays at Big Bear per month (Dec-April), a week-long trip to Mammoth in January, 2 or 3 long weekend trips to Mammoth (I like to drive up Saturday, ski Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, drive home Tuesday night), a week-long trip somewhere else. Maybe once every 10 years? |
