Smoke

[lollardfish]

I hate smoke. It is this invasive, toxic, stinking, vile, substance that rips into the back of my throat, makes my eyes water, and hurts my head.

Far more importantly - it divides me from my friends. Far too many of the people I most enjoy being around, playing music with, either smoke or hang out with the smokers. I tried, last night, and am paying for it. I won't do it again, but it's a sucky choice to have to make.

On the other hand, I had a lot of fun this weekend.

Next year, it's the return of the S.E.M.P. Now with more pie.

You'd think it would be even worse in Texas -- but for some reason it's not. I suspect that there may be "parallel groups" in a lot of interest areas -- one where the smokers hang out, and one where they don't -- and of course I would find myself in the latter. These days I'm always rather surprised to find that someone I know smokes.

I'm sure there are parallel groups. In Minneapolis, a good chunk of the people I most like to hang out with are in the smoking/pro-smoking side. I'm done with it though, and it makes me sad, because I like those folks.
