I'm beginning to prepare myself to try and quit smoking again. I seem to have the best success in the first couple of months when I give myself some ramp up time, start working out every day without fail, and mentally prepare myself. I seem to have the worst success when alcohol is introduced into my bloodstream, which means I am bound to be the designated driver for a while. I'm thinking that January would be a good month to start. Not the cliche January first start because that actually might be too soon. I will be using the patch sans Zyban this time. It's never the quitting process that fails, it's the life as a quit addict that follows that I seem to have a hard time with. Well, we'll see, won't we.

My work on a top ten cd's of the year list continues. I'm very glad for the fact that I can listen to everything easily. At least one CD that I didn't really listen to that much has crept up in the rankings greatly as a result of the chance to listen to it again. My "off the top of my head list" would have been very different than the one I am going to end up with at the end of the year.
