And yes, my car is still able to fire up. I've just learned to pay attention to early symptoms in many areas of life including the mechanical ones. Male congestive heart failure folks statistically live four to five years post-diagnosis. Women do better at eight to twelve years post-diagnosis. I personally believe Big Kid went out this way b/c diabetes afflicts folks with CHF. You just kind of "go to sleep". Of course, I'm prepared to go any time; and in any way.
See you all at the Fall Dragon!

I admire your courage Pace!
Nohemi, the gal who bravely tried the passenger seat at the dragon last year says she really enjoyed meeting you and your wife and she will be praying for you.
