too much oil

I had stored my 83 SC for about 5 months. I changed the oil just before storage, Upon start-up it smoked like crazy. A short run around the block and back into the garage to check everything visually. All looked fine so I started it up a second time and it seemed pretty normal. I took it for a good drive today 10-15 miles and did notice a small amount of blue smoke initially but none on my return. A read of the dipstick while hot showed I may have overfilled by 1/2 of quart. No blue smoke noticed at that point. Will I do any harm if I DO NOT drain off?
