I quit smoking January 1st, and to make it stick I didn’t use patches, gum, hypnosis, or nasty pictures of dead smoker’s lungs. My secret? An Iron Will and Dentyne Ice. This helped, too: A pack a day at $4.75 times 46 days equals $218.50. And counting.

LMA and I left Long Beach for points north at the end of August (the 23rd through the 31st). We visited Silver Lake in the Sierras for a couple of days (my mom and JA and my brother and his family were there, too), then we drove up to Crescent City where my dad...
A couple of years ago my friend J Scane and I decided we were going to send the new President one letter every week. I was to write them, and J Scane was to make illustrations. After mailing them, we’d upload them to his website. We both voted for Ralph Nader. I wrote the...
