Charlie your Mod

I received a disturbing email from Charlie this morning (we go back and forth every morning, old guys get up early) that he was having chest pains and calling 911 ….when... after a very long day of worrying and calling …his daughter Bonnie told me he is doing OK …lucky….they will do a cath in the AM and maybe send him home by tomorrow afternoon …that way we can bug him, kick him in the *** and tell him not to worry so much about life……plus, we can tell him we care.


Life is fragile
Make what you can out of today
It will make a difference tomorrow

Hope to hear from the Captain himself soon...

Let's let the Capt. know we care!

Not that I would want anybody to fall ill like that, but I was so hoping that Tim didn't mean Charlie G.(aka captchas). I've had the honor of corresponding with Charlie a couple of times via email. Folks this is a good man. So if your reading this and your not sure who he is, or you may not have liked one of his post's, it doesn't matter, post some good thought's or prayer's for him anyway, he deserves it. I hope in this case not to see a couple hundred views and only a few get well soon post's.

How tragic! I hope you feel better Charlie, sorry to hear about your health problems. You should never take your health for granted . . . no telling when it might give up on you. Best of luck buddy.
