Doctor Finally Puts Her Foot Down...Almost

Well I guess stuff like this happens, eh? My recent visit with my VA doc left my doctor of 28 years telling me to put out the smoking lamp. She's always cut me a lot of slack when it came to my "hobby" but at my age she said enough is enough. We negotiated a bit and she finally relented a bit when I agreed to shut down my smoking in my cozy cigar room at home an limit myself to 2 or 3 visits a month at the www.thevertigoclub.com a cigar club I am a member of in Seattle. With a 70 mile drive down to Seattle I guess she figures that it will keep me honest.

Sucks getting old and since I started smoking cigars at the age of 18 while in Vietnam it is going to be a big change. Going to miss that morning cigar while sitting and reading the newspaper.
