Donny ... no argument there ... I've just had a physical and fortunately all the numbers (except for the scale ) are very good ... I've NEVER had a problem in the sightest with BP, heart rate is EXCELLENT - still reaping the benefits of all those years running 60 - 70 miles a week in the mid 70s to early 80s - blood flow very good, cholesterol is under control but the bad cholesterol is too high due to overweight and not enough exercise, which I am addressing ...
I take a cholesterol pill and a pill to help prevent the esophageal spasms, and that's it ...
So, as I said, I will keep at it, and see where it goes ...
Just wish the damn snow would stop so I can walk the golf course !!!

Nordic skis, Tony. I tried it for the first time this winter and found all the dormant muscles. It's nice just to get out there and do it.

I'm ...on...the...elipitical . ..machine ....right...now.
OK, now I'm off. Out of breath after 7 minutes. Will rest and do it again. Ya gotta start somewhere.

Don, with all the hoopla going on, I neglected to express my concern about your recent health issues. I hope they are fleeting and that you are able to get right back to telling me how much I hate arrangers . Seriously though, I think the advice to 'drop the pounds' is probably good advice, something that most of us need to do. My wife eats like a health nut and exercises vigorously every day. You know the old saying, "there's nothing more annoying than 'a good example'. It's pretty obvious to me that she's trying to outlive me. Luckily, 'only the good die young' . I should be around for quite awhile....you too. I was just thinking the other day how much we have in common; we're both tall, overweight, very intelligent, good sense of humor, and part Native American. I think where we diverge is the part of us this is NOT Native American . Oh well, at least you used to play an organ .

Get well soon.

Thank you my friend. Hope to hang out with you some day.

124 ... did some cross country many years ago ... found those same muscles ...

Don ... no exercise got my heart rate up faster than the elliptical ...

I remember one time I spent five days in hospital and ended up taking a turn for the nurse.

I told the Doc I was feeling pins and needles in my arm...he suggested acupuncture.

Seriously Don...your body is giving you a wake up call...don't snooze through it....look after yourself and get back to good health ASAP.

PS...getting out of bed does not count as one sit up.

I see the best way to lose weight is reduce the size of your meals and don't nibble in-between meals.
Never have a meal late at night, lunch time is the best for main meal of the day.
Then take to walking bristly up to 3 miles every morning.
Or at least walk one mile and increase over the next few weeks.
