   	Please Aragorn do your best to stop smoking.  My roomie wha was about   
   75 died in July 2022.  She has started when she was 14 yoa and   
   stopped about 45 or 50 years later.  She was treated for Lung Cancer   
   and began to recover and had every hope of returning to work last   
   winter but in February she experienced an inability to find her   
   words.  I hoped it was only a stroke but it turned out that the cancer   
   had metastasized to her brain.  It was treated with radiation and we   
   hoped that she would get strong enough for chemotherapy but it was   
   not to be.   
   	Please stop smoking.   
      
   	And I would mourn you more than the roomie.
