Good Morning RIT,
Really glad to hear that you made it home and had your condition diagnosed ! A little longer down there and it might have been to late. Im closing in on 63 and try to lead a active lifestyle. Meaning at least 2 1/2 mile walk every day along with pushups and incline bench situps. Also try to have a balanced diet and moderate alcohol consumption. I think this all leads to a healthier body and longevity ! Hopefully your wife is right about retirement, changing to a healthier lifestyle...

Thanks. That is exactly my plan. I used to bicycle about 600 miles a month (when I attended school between jobs) but then I got first "real job", started making real money and the active life style and healthy diet went "puff". It is time to get back to it. Kids bought me one of those feather light bicycles to motivate me. I will report back to TBN when it happens.

Enjoy the new bike, they have come a long way in just a few decades.

With business travel it can be tough to come up with consistent exercise options. Back when I was doing a lot of short haul business trips, I remember taking a close look at what was on the market at the time for folding compact bikes - ended up getting a pair of roller blades - easier to transport, and met my Get Outside and Do Something needs.

Keep us posted on the new bike adventures, and if it didn't come with one, pick up a decent helmet. An old Bell motorcycle helmet ad went something like "Wear a $10 helmet, if you have a $10 head".

Be safe, and well.

Rgds, D.

Holy cow! You did make an impression on the windshield. Glad you are okay.

Thanks guys. Fortunately I am OK back hard at work. But event like that makes you realize how fragile human life is. I guess I should take hard look at my last will and update it.
