Hi guys - I didn't want to let this post fade without letting y'all know how much I enjoyed your responses - especially the cajoling, encouragement, and stories 'bout smoking'. While I'm still inhaling, I''m also now riding the bike to work - about a seven mile commute each way from Silver Spring into DC - which is significantly diminishing my ciggy intake!
I am also thoroughly enthused by the cries of "ride on" regarding the boscos, and enjoyed the references to chocolate milk, molten metal, and plain common sense. You guys are cool...
