smoke 'em if you got 'em

for ten years i was a cigarette smoker. during those ten years i justified my dirty and deadly addiction by describing a cigarette as "the icing on the cake" after anything good. despite some occasional crankiness and the addition of a few unsightly pounds i am so happy that i was able to quit and would never recommend that anyone take up the habit. last nights election results and some timely received federal and state income tax refund checks have restored my faith in our democracy. the return of intelligence and fresh ideas to the white house certainly has me breathing easier. it is my understanding that president elect obama enjoys an occasional smoke. all health concerns aside, i hope he enjoyed one last night after hearing the results announced. sweetest smoke ever.
