This brief stop at Barnes & Noble on the way home was made thinking that the space was large with lots of air to dilute a virus, and the spacing of people was large as well. But it did creep me out a bit. My doctors continue to advise me to be super careful because of the suppression of my immune system by drugs and the fact that I’ve suffered a heart attack. […]

Only my own thoughts keep me oppressed by the past. In this case — a heart attack. […]

Sorry to hear of your loss Melody. I appreciate the magnitude of the loss. And it fuels my attention to how I live. Like the shredded wheat and blueberries I eat now instead of the bacon, egg and cheese breakfast at McDonalds that was so common before my heart attack. There’s no way to know for sure if my diet and lifestyle was responsible, but like riding, I manage what I can to be safe.

That you for sharing your thoughts here. I do appreciate them.

My dear sweetheart had a massive heart attack (August 2010) in the hospital cafeteria where he was Head of the Respiratory Dept. He was surrounded by his friends and they took immediate lifesaving actions…he survived it but he just couldn’t undo decades of bad habits. He passed away peacefully in his sleep in September 2015, one day before his 58th birthday. I still feel lost without him…yet I go on.

Please live your life as you please but remember someone may be lost without you there.

Frank,

Stable, feeling well and vertical. The only restrictions to riding are self-imposed due to work and other responsibilities. But I see many more miles ahead.

Fine thoughts Lori. Lot’s of granddaughter adventures ahead I hope. On an unrelated note — I hope to ride to Ohio sometime to visit.
