It is indeed a dirty habit, but I have the luxury of it not being a habit at all, Mssrs. Pongratz and ‘Belloc’ will be please to learn. I only smoke very occasionally, usually on social occasions (and I have very few social occasions now that I am here in New York). I enjoy a good smoke every now and then though, and I suspect I always will. As much as I enjoy it though, I must admit that those who chain smoke or smoke very often really ought to quit.

And I did pass on “Big” John’s congrats and best wished to “Little” Jon and Mrs. Jon.

Mr. Harold, indeed I was mistaken for Jon once or twice during my trip, though usually only from far away or from behind.

KD, Daniel Larison is simply astounding and brilliant.

Andrew,

I’d just like to take a moment to thank you for providing a link to Daniel Larison’s site “Eunomia.”

I’ve recommended it to friends. In fact, I’ll be doing that again today — the piece about the WSJ’s response to the President’s “failure” to pardon Libby is excellent.

By the way, why would a grown man go by the nickname “Scooter”?

Hope you’re enjoying your stay in the Golden State!

Fire up a nice mellow one Andy, and enjoy it. Ever tried a Balkan Sobranie? Whatever you have, enjoy your social smoking at the wedding.

Andrew -

Have a great time. Is it just me or do you and the groom look alike?

Cheers!
Harold

Ah, Andrew, my wife has just learned that a dear female cousin, only fifty, has terminal lung cancer. I learned only this week that an equally dear uncle, of 62 years, my father’s brother, suffers the same affliction.

Both were life-time cigarette smokers.

Please, my friend, stub it out.

But, dear Mr. Cusack, smoking is such a filthy habit! I am aware drinking Scotch is a Jesuit’s habit, but smoking? wp

Yeah they’ve got quite a task trying to beat our wedding! They could pull it off though, if J B stays sober!

Well, they timed it well…

Hope you all have a lovely time, made all the happier by the great news!
