Hey pal, how are you doing?  I hope you are well and hearty.  I know it is
a job, these days just to keep mind and body together.  It is getting better 
however, thank goodness.  I hope that the economy gets better soon.  It is
sorely needed.  If we don't get it turned around, we are going to have a new
president after the next election.  Dear me, I can hardly stand that idea, as
a reality.  It looks like I am going to have to have some more surgery, if I let
them do it.  I try not to think of it.  It makes me so depressed.  Seems like there
is never any end to it, when it comes to my health.  I lost fifty lbs and thought 
that would take care of all my issues, but it obviously didn't do so.  Seems now
they think I need a pacemaker.  I have always had a heart murmur, but it was
what they called functional.  Evidently it isn't so functional anymore.  My heart is 
too slow anymore.  It is part of the reason that I have the alternate sweats and
cold spells.  ''DAMMIT''  I am sick of all this shit.  Oh well if it has to be someone, 
I guess its best that it is me. I don't want it to be any other of my loved ones. 
     Lov, have a good one.  me
