Morning Routine

I'll be off to the ecological preserve in a bit to do some follow-up fieldwork from yesterday but in the meantime I'm enjoying the morning routine of coffee and cigarettes. A wonderfully stimulating and relaxing combination that clears the mind and puts it into a highly productive gear.

And yes I know that smoking is bad for me. I'm very hit and miss when it comes to this habit. I've quit for months or a year at a time and will occasionally pick it back up. But I believe it was Mark Twain who summed it up so nicely: "quitting smoking is easy. I've done it hundreds of times myself!"
