Thanks, guys! I really appreciate all the well-wishes.
Believe it or not, I am somewhat bummed out about it. Here is why: Statiscally speaking, half of my life is over! Done! Never to return! Now, the last 10 years of a man's life are usually not much fun -- I'll be wearing a diaper, I won't recognize my family, I will probably be limping along with a plastic hip, and I will be on a soft food-only diet... SO, this means that I have what, maybe 25 GOOD years left?? Very depressing...
Thanks to all of you!
Juan
