Thanks Justin, hopefully, you can spend more time here with your gf in 2015. Stop by for a beer anytime.

 

Thanks Patty. I am very fortunate to have a wife and extended family taking care of me and encouraging me.
Have a great New Year.

 

12 years stroke survival. Still keeping on; however, damage worsens with aging. Nevertheless, I get to the gym every other day (had to cutback from daily) and do a short walk along the water opposite days. My helper drives and assists with both. If I go to the mall, I need to use my wheel chair. I will be 83 in January so beating the odds. Blessed with a great wife and son who give me reason to keep it going.
Please mind your health. Serious strokes are catastrophic.

 

I gave you a Genius because there is no rating for "An amazingly brave and determined person who has made the best out of a difficult situation and is an inspiration to all of us".

 

Thank you. My wife gets all the credit.
