[Leica] Ten years

[kanner at acm.org (Herbert Kanner)]

The past year or so, I've quit beer and am in a wine phase. Just one 
or at most two glasses of wine at dinner.

Gotta tell y'all how I quit after after over forty years of smoking. 
I got a job at Apple. That company is one great big no-smoking zone. 
To defend against guys who might smoke while working all night in an 
almost empty office, there was a sign saying: "Don't even think of 
carrying a lighted cigarette down this corridor."

Well, for two weeks, every time a colleague left the building to have 
a smoke out front, I followed him and bummed a cigarette. After those 
two weeks, I just quit!

That was in 1986.
