Nothing wrong with Tom Clancy books

Hi Neil. My favorite author. He's the guy that actually got me into reading. Well, him and Stephen Coonts, the guy that wrote Flight of the Intruder. I started reading that when I was on the ship back in 86.

He's getting richer by the minute...got to the office at 1 sharp for a 1:15 appointment...waited in the waiting room for what seemed like an ungodly amount of time...was back in the car at 1:45. Of course...there are no clocks anywhere around the office so you don't know how long your visit was. Interestingly enough...the Dr. got out of the parking lot before I did.

Yeah, that's usually the way it works. Or, they stick you in a room for a half hour before he shows up!

I went into a tiny room where some smoking hot babe took my vitals...then waited there for 5 minutes when they took me into a room where the Dr. and another lady were waiting. I'm surprised my blood pressure was so low...110/65...when I saw the babe who was taking it.

That thought has crossed my mind...the Dr was impressed though. My BP usually runs in the low 130s over mid 70s. I guess losing over 100 pounds has helped over the years.

I've been around 120/80 for years. I could stand to lose some weight myself, kind of bulked up over the winter.

Truth be told...I could still stand to lose another 50...working on it. My stay in the hospital helped...lost about 20 lbs. while I was there.

Well, it's time for me to get out of here. Have a good evening, Ken, I'll catch you in the morning!
