No, this isn't that letter. I have a moral dilemma of my very own.

You see, before I let my parsimoniousness get the better of me I was a smoker. Currently I am a smoker living in a non-smoking body. But never will I become one of those type of non-smokers. In other words, my concept of what is and isn't just, vis a vis smokers' rights, has not changed just because my need and desire to puff freely away has.

Fast Fact: "The Dodgers were hitting home runs, and everybody was hugging and kissing, and it wasn't a big deal." Johnny Munoz, a fan who filmed some of the incident

Several years ago when Dodger Stadium went non-smoking I started boycotting the stadium. (Believe me, I still supported, and continue to support, my boys in blue. Nothing will ever change that.)

But, since Dodger Stadium is in the middle of downtown Los Angeles and an open air stadium surrounded by factories and freeways, I found the non-smoking policy a tad disingenuous. At best.

But enough about smoking. This feature is about kissing, after all.

Kissing is a grand old American pastime.

Right up there with Mom, Apple Pie, and yes, you got it ... baseball.
