64. I gave up smoking 12/31 and it's now been two days (almost 3) but I am cheating - I will start smoking again when I reach 75! I figure if I get there, I'll have it made!! and it makes it easier to be able to say that there will be another ciggie.
65. As I've said before, I know how lucky I am, and maybe the city of New York will see reason and stop fighting my pension. My court date is now Jan 17.
66. The reason the city keeps fighting me is because they never gave line of duty pension f
35. In response to the comments on my last entry, I will try to come up with more things.
36. I had about 50 things here before supper, then lost it all.

Well, I finally got my last entry finished. It took until today to come up with 100 things about me. And it isn't even 100! I started to do the list on Dec 10 and just finished it on Dec26. Maybe if I ever write a book, it will take several years!

3. I would love to write a book.
4. I used to own a dog but I don't like cats too much.
