Gene Pompa: Ex-Smoker Weight Gain
Next Prev I quit smoking cigarettes about a year ago. I gained 18 pounds. So, now I have to wear a lot of black so no one knows what a big hunk of pig I turned into. No matter what I do, I cannot lose this 18 pounds. It's really starting to kick my ass. I mean I have tried everything short of diet and exercise.

Taking Down My Christmas Decorations
Taking Down My Christmas Decorations
Good News and Bad News
Well, there is good news and bad news about my Christmas decorations this year
Good news is that I truly outdid myself this year with my Christmas decorations.
The bad news is that I had to take him down after 2 days.
I had more people come screaming up to my house than ever.
Kind of feel like I gave in to the man by taking him down but my neighbor did confirm two near miss accidents on the busy street next to my house.
I think I made him too real this time.
So it was fun while it lasted...
