Hi Tom Saw that ice storm of yours on the news here last night. Looks really scary. Saw some people trying to keep their balance on the pavement and now wonder if it was you..... Glad you are coping well with the demands of the demon. Hope today is better for you.

Thank you and yes. I'm a believer in the Vivaldi theory now. I handled it without problem but it caught me by surprise. I did not expect a higher than mild crave like that. Happy to be smoke free and on my feet and not my butt on the ground because the ice is wet and slushy on top and hard and slick underneath. You know how the seat of your pants get soaked then starts to freeze... okay, I won't go there.

leave to Pen - LOL, I love this. Many say that you have to do "The Vivaldi" (Four Seasons!) to get really comfortable with your quit.

Yeah, isn't that weird, Tom? Seemingly out of nowhere. But, I guess now that Four Seasons deal makes sense. Do you find it easier, though, to deal with the triggers now, as opposed to say, summer lawn-mowing triggers? I have faith in you, no matter what the trigger, to not smoke, ice storm or not. Please, just watch out for falling icicles, okay?

How could you smoke? If you're frozen in you won't make it to a shop to buy cigarettes! And you won't need to. You don't smoke any more. Hope you find something constructive to do.

You'll be fine, Tom. I would still love you if you smoked, but not as much. Stay safe, please, that is some nasty stuff going on there.

Tom, Take this day off to do something you have been meaning to do for a while. Whether that be relaxing, doing chores, putting some salt down on your walk-way, writing holiday cards, there's always plenty to do on a snow day. Enjoy and rest up for the holiday season!

Well Tom, Been there...done that. Seven years in Syracuse cured me of winter. That's a big reason I now live in Florida. I'm sure you'll find something to do other then smoking. You're almost 75% of a year not smoking. Impressive!!! Don't give up now..Besides won't you have to go out to buy cigarettes?
