Just before the end of my first cup of java this morning, while reading my Google Reader blogs, I've found a quiz that all the cool kids are taking...how will I die?

Scorpius at Sondra K's will die of a heart attack during sex.

Dr Helen's going out from a drug overdose. (Peaceful, that.)

A bar fight, huh? Well, that means I'll have to start frequenting bars again. Given that I don't smoke, and can't really spend more than 2 minutes in a crowded smoke-only bar, I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon. Unless Tennessee passes a better smoking law. Now, smoking is allowed only in clubs or bars that have 21+ designations, adult-only alcohol bars.

I’ve eaten out a lot more frequently since smokers have been forced to deny their addictions long enough to enjoy a meal. I mean, when a smoker simply has to succumb to his or her nassty habit (and subject anyone around to those stinkin' noxious fumes) there’s a personal problem that the smoker needs to overcome, and that's not just the nicotine addiction.

Smokers display innate, selfish inconsideration when they blow around other people.

There's a new restaurant in Smyrna, the Tokyo Japanese Steak House. Great stuff, sushi, all the fixings. Loved it...next door is a new Sports Bar, Sullivan’s. I checked it out after dinner.

I know this: every smoker in Smyrna had to be there; the smoke was thick. I barely made it to the back of the place to see the 5 pool tables before I had to escape. I wasn’t in there 2 minutes. I probably absorbed a pack’s worth of nicotine. You would think they would’ve heard of ventilation.

I guess smokers have to find a place to congregate, since 'nice' restaurants are now off limits. When they find such a place, it's basically smokers only.

So, Tennessee, get with the program, so I can visit bars again.

Otherwise, I guess I'm going to live forever....
