Grumps - That's amazing. Totally nic-free! No more patches ("I go from rags to riches!"). So happy for you and you have much to be proud of, sister. Just incredible and what a long way you've come. I'll never forget your description of watching the smoker in the cold. Vivid. You brought me right there physically and emotionally. Stayed with me. Thanks for the lovely words earlier. I feel the same about you.

CHL, great news on the health visit today. Looks like you're going to be here to tell the tale for a long time to come. Just as you wrote the other day, I have no doubt you have important work ahead in supporting and helping others. You have much to give.

Double Nickles ("if the good Lord's willing and the creeks don't rise.") tomorrow.

55 days. Grateful for 54 today, but 55 feels special (like I'm ridin' lady luck and cleared the curse of a boxcar double six) and I remain amazed and delighted (most days) I no longer smoke.

Best to all.
