Health Gripe

So last night was the 5th anniversary of Wednesday nights at the Phoenix Landing.  This was the very first weekly I went to when I moved to Boston.  I think I actually went to it within days of first getting into town.  Over the years I've seen some great DJs play there, and even had the honor to spin there once myself.

Unfortunately, the Landing is one of the smokiest places on Earth.  I don't think I've ever been in a bar that is so smokey.  Even when I wasn't having health problems it was bad in there.  It's like they don't have any ventialltion at all.  So last night, on the night I would have loved to have gone out.  I couldn't.

This is the stuff that I'm still having a hard time coming to terms with.  Even when I do get a new lung I most probably won't be able to go out to places that smokey.  When I lived in San Diego I got really used to smoke-free places.  I wish there were more of them around.
