I smoked about 16 cigarettes in 6-7 hours. It is a bit too many. I should truly smoke one pack a day maximum. I wonder how I can do that without effort? I have no idea. 

My father in law does not answer my emails anymore. Oops. Maybe he is just not comfortable corresponding with his in law. My sisters in law correspond quite a bit.

UPDATE

I am listening to the weekly talk from sati saraniya hermitage - monastery in ontario, near perth. It is, as most often than not, very good. they somtimes replay talks from as far back as 2002 but today's talk is from 2021 or 2022.
