Today's a great day to kick the habits.

One habit that should stop.... Smoking. Today is the Great American Smoke Out.

Too many young people are smoking. Kids ages 8, 10, 12 are starting their smoking careers. We need some focus on wellness. I've got some wellness planks being built at the Platform For Pgh.

Another habit to kick, one-party lever pulling.

Four or more meeting nights

Tonight was one of those nights, too much to do.

The RED team in Market House soccer (middle ages) played in the championship game. Missed it. Same too with the older kids. Was covering swim practice at the kids there went on the road to watch a college meet at W&J. Plus, won a 2nd election in as many weeks. More news on that later.

The Market House's Family Fun Night is tomorrow -- and I'm not missing it. South Side's light up night is a bit earlier. Harry Readshaw is to be there to throw the switch on the snowflakes. See the South Pgh Reporter for more details.
