An Australian friend of mine used to always tell me, “Peezy, you’re like a fart in a bottle!” Which I guess i...
The group Chicago, best known for their 1970's Jazz-Rock music, is one of my favorite bands. Their song, A Hard Habit to Break, however, is not one of my favorite tunes.

As you may or may notknow (it depends on how often you read my windy ramblings) I "quit" smoking cigarettes about three weeks ago. The...
