decadanal anniversaries

it's been right at ten years since i smoked a cigarette --- it's too bad i don't remember the exact date but it was sometime in the summer of 2004

and around the same time i ate my last piece of warm-blooded flesh --- unfortunately for them, i keep eating fish now and then

i'm trying to get to a vegan diet, even taking up soy milk instead of the real thing --- but sometimes, i still gotta eat a piece of fish or a hunk of cheese --- all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of god

weight is down 5% (half way to my goal), activity is way up, and i feel better than i've felt in years --- i'll prolly keel over with a heart attack this afternoon
