I need no assistance slowing my pace, in a sprint I wouldn't have to give a
snail much of a headstart.  My joints all seem to bend in the correct direction
with no pain.  But I'm starting to think the previously diagnosed congestive
heart failure, seem to recall it was 1987 when the Cardiologist started talking
about it, has kicked in regarding my legs.  Gonna start pushing for a handicap
doohickie to put on the mirror at times.  Earlier this month when I went
through the airports in Denver/Las Vegas/Honolulu/Pago Pago (not that it's big
but there were extenuating circumstances involved) I asked for a wheelchair
several times if I had to travel any distance.  But around here there lots and
lots of people way way worse than me, and I remember that.  Anyways....how
about them Mets, to change the subject.
