What do you consider the best thing you ever quit? It could have been an inorganic, organic, a compound of chemicals, or just a plain bad habit (like picking your nose). It could have been the person that occupied the space they call the spouse matter (aka dark matter) – it can be anything at all. You make the call.

I always get a little goofy after good long hike!

Smoking, hands down, flat out, nothing else comes close! Quit in 1980 and four years later ran the San Francisco marathon in 3:36:08. Before I quit I couldn't run a flat course 10K at the pace I ran the marathon in.

The best thing I ever quit was the military. One of the best gigs I had. Definately the easiest.

I’m definitely hip to that! And yes, how did we buy into that Marlboro thing for so long anyway?

For Diane:

It’s pathetic, but I quit just about everything: Smoking, drinking, drugging, and meat (take a breath) a high fa - lutin job, a high fa – lutin family, friends, money, smog, big cities, TV, politics, fast women, fast cars “and a baby’s arm holding an apple” -- The Tubes.
