Can you believe that this ad actually ran in major magazines in 1950? What the hell were people thinking? Man, times sure have changed -- and in some cases, for the better. If a cigarette company tried to run an ad campaign like this today, they'd be lynched! But 57 years ago, this was considered cute.This blog is more than just a journal of my crazy, meaningless and confused existence in Northern California as a writer, a comedian and just a lover of all things even remotely pleasurable. No, it is much, much more than that, my little friends. In this blog, I will tell you most of my thoughts, some of my concerns, and several of my issues and dreams -- and anyone who is even slightly interested will hopefully be intrigued enough to read this -- this -- thing I call LIFE ON THE EDGE.
