Getting old has its drawbacks alright, but so far is better than all the alternatives. Hope for the best!

Thanks, Graham - and thanks for the mailboxes! This morning anyway I’m quite encouraged and feel the best I have in a few weeks.

Thanks, Rich. As dismal as the weather is here now, it’s been a good time to find ourselves close to an ER here everyone speaks our language.

It's good you're getting your heart health checked out thoroughly. Here's hoping the new meds will work and your touring can go ahead as planned. Thanks for keeping us informed.

I'm glad you're taking this seriously! Going to ER is never fun, but it was probably a good step to take to get more clarity into what's going on.

Thankfullly you have access to decent health care there in the USA and hopefully the new meds will keep you fighting fit.

Getting older is the pits. My dad has A-fib and his side of the family has their share of heart issues. I’d like to think exercising a lot keeps that stuff at bay, but bodies don’t seem to always get that message. I hope your SVT starts behaving again so you can enjoy spring in Italy!

Hope you are done with the SVT's for some time!

This getting older business is not for the faint of heart…no pun intended. We are sending all the good vibes your way. It sounds like you are on top of things, and we hope the visit with your cardiologist is soon and a positive one. Portland’s weather even made the local news in Victoria, so your hopefully brief blip in great health was well timed.

Ouch. That pony's at a gallop.

Hey, you're wearing my gown. Looks better on you though.

Better hurry up and get better, both of you!

It is pretty. On the other hand though, we’ve both got raging colds.

I agree. I really wasn’t impressed with any aspect of the encounter. It feels to me like they’re really going downhill. I wonder if between Covid and the eBike revolution they’re losing their focus and market share. It wouldn’t shock me to have them go under one of these years.

I remember that winter! Downtown was paralyzed for a couple of days. It’s the only time we were able to ski out our front door. We skied through the Pearl that first evening trying to find any restaurant that was open. The situation now is not nearly as bad as that was.
