As old as THAT?
If you are as old as THAT, what does that make me, and a bunch of the rest of us in our 60's and 70's and 80's?
I think I will go and get under the covers and just pout!

The longer you are off of the "coffin nails" the more your
body will heal and clean itself out of the toxins.
There will be times when you crave puff a butt just remember
the above. Everytime you slip you start over at ZERO.
Been there , done that, 13 yrs ago, feel really great now!!
All the best , mate.

Welcome to the 53 group!! So far it is turning out to be a vintage year!! Congratulations for kicking the nails as well....although many people have made a living on making the product in my homestate (NC), I really hate to hear of folks that cannot abstain.

I've been cycling more lately than I have in quite while. 16 miles a day commuting. 12 mile ride here, 3 miles there, etc. It's been cold and a lot of wind. I'm only 51, but my body is feeling older of recent.

Crazyb,
Way to go!!
I'll be with you in a week or so, 3/8/53. The way I've been riding I feel 53 and then some.
My day will include my BIRTHDAY ride of 54 miles, you know, an extra mile to help me grow an inch. Not around the belly!! Then, I'll bring out the Monte #2 with a proper dram of whisky, Laphroig 10 year. My idea of a PIE Ride.
