It is 8H20am. I have been up for over an hour. I am stone unfortunately. Yesterday I did not smoke all morning. And smoked less cigarettes. I should hop back on the bandwagon again today about all this. I am feeling very stone and Miss Simone is singing her blues soulfully to my ear. I would have loved to grow up with Nina Simone. She must have been a super inspiring friend. And she suffered greatly. Her passion may have been too strong to be happy all along. but what presence! what  voice! what soulful singing!
