got good news & good news - my heart is back in rhythem & BP still low enuf not to require medicine - so my trip east is ON! - leaving Sat AM

When I get back here in Dec, I am going to look into gastric bypass surgery to help get rid of the 140+lbs I've been carrying too long - Hard to believe I ever fit into an A4 Skyhawk! - tried diet & exercise with a personal trainer but hit a wall at +100lbs - I am fortunate to be 6'4" with a big bone structure to carry the weight & not to have the problems associated with overweight - I've always carried extra weight, except when the Navy had me down to skin n ribs - even then I was 210lbs - really have to do something before it's too late - hit 56 in 12 days - want alot more birthdays to come.

Hopefully, I'll get a chance to see some of you along the way - may not get on the internet untill I get back - In the meantime, y'all have a happy, healthy, safe holiday season
