I want to thank all the people that called, sent cards, and/or just posted!
It seems like I had another heart attack, and during the process of openeing the artery and putting in a stent...I scared the hell outta the Doctor! I went into arythmia during it all and he had to ZAP me 3 times before he finished. (Wound up with 3 pair of burn marks on my chest and side.)
Like Jimmy Chatham says...us mean old guys are hard to get rid of!

Good to see you made it! You ought to get an old extension cord, strip the end off, and carry it around with you in case you need a "jump start" again. Besides, I'm not finished writing the "Tales" yet. You're the only one readn' em!
I didn't know you smoked! Quit it!
Take care of yourself!!!!

Welcome back, Si! Third time must have been the charm with those zaps. I think in your behalf (with your permission) I'm going to take the day off and take time to smell the roses -- it's a pretty darn nice day around here today.
