Get off my lungs.

After having a cough for over two weeks, despite antibiotics and every over-counter medication and home remedy; I think its time to pack it in. The smokes have got to go. I just have to look at them for what they are. Poisonous and deadly to my body. Getting too old to be tempting fate and I really don't want to suffer more than the horrible coughing. I don't want emphysema or COPD or worse lung cancer. It's just not worth it. And then the expense. For something that makes me sick? Stupid.

The Associated Press: `Golden Girls' star Bea Arthur dies at 86

Got rid of the two previous posts which were downers to say the least.

Reading the few early posts I made. Tragic stories. That's not where I want this blog to go.

Been hooked on Facebook and Twitter. Twitter seemed boring at first. For a start I have very few followers. It's more fun following people.

I've been toying with this idea for some time. Start writing about my experiences around the world. Don't have to start at the beginning. Just pick an time and place and write.
