I’m a firm believer in the fact that comments on web sites typically drag the conversation down to the lowest common denominator but occasionally, you find a comment that is insightful.  I found one of those on reddit the other day and I thought it was worth mentioning:  “People who carry cellphones remind me of …

Smoking

So approximately 214 days ago, at the end of a fun night involving the Super Bowl, I swore off cigarettes until football season.  Mostly this was done as a gimmick to give me a day to shoot for far, far in the future.  Now mind you, I was never much of a smoker, it came …
