Canadian Politics Today

I was listening to the radio one day and there was an interview with an addiction specialist doctor who was saying it was a good idea to reward ones self after you have made reasonable success at kicking a bad habit. Two days of no smoking or bottle tipping isn't quite enough, "reasonable" being the operative word. I had been thinking about buying a laptop, which were a little pricey those days, but then I realized I was well into year 4 without a smoke. I did a quick calculation on how many bucks I hadn't spent on smokes, then headed off downtown, bought that laptop, and still had a pretty good wad left over. Heading for year 20, maybe I should plan another trip downtown, or beyond.
