What cigarette do you smoke, Doctor?

My buddy Rob sent this to me a while back. Found it while cleaning up the inbox. A 1949 TV commercial for Camel cigarettes. How the times have changed…

for Tacia Aspen…

read through this here weblog at all and you will notice that one of my few consistent readers is my cousin Aspen. She herself is an accomplished blogger and has plenty of good things to say.

Thanks. No.

This is possibly the funniest thing I may see all week: Thanks. No. No question, every single email user in the history of the internet could have found use at some point or another. Every single one.   Other email thoughts: Mike Davidson has implemented his new email solution at: five.sentenc.es. I’m not sure it…

Water weekend…

Maybe some of you have noticed my lack of any contact over the last week or two. It wasn’t cause I didn’t have anything to say, more so cause I didn’t have the energy to say it. Hopefully over the next few days I’ll give a better write-up. Until then, my body created a new…
