Yeup. 120/70 is the goal my doctor set for me. It's there now, unless I
excercise some. Even then, it only goes to the 140s, which is normal.

She's been my doctor for the last 4 years. He's a newcomer by comparison,
but I think, a much better doctor.

My oldest daughter married a rosey cheeked Nebraska farmboy. His only
saving grace AFAIC is that he's a good provider, working as a mechanic for
Continental Airlines in Houston.

You'd have to pedal it pretty fast to do that. :o)

Nahhh. His mother would take it away from him and use it herself. I'll
leave him enough to buy his own when he turns 25. By then a factory hotrod
will be powered by hydrogen/electric...

Joy lives in the fight, in the attempt, in the suffering involved, not in
the victory itself.
