Comments - I Loved Smoking

My wife Susy smoked Benson and Hedges, long ones, and it's truly a shame that elegance is gone from our lives, the two slightly splayed fingers in the air, that pause before one responds, smoke drifting. It's a loss, gesturally. I can't believe I once had workshops in a virtually closed room full of smokers--why did I not have a headache all the time? I quit in 1968, age 20. Susy much later, when we started having kids. Dear god, time.
