Thanks to all who sent their kind words and well wishes regarding my latest health fiasco. Basically, one of the three bypasses that I had performed this past spring decided to collapse. They say it happens five percent of the time. Everything is fine now and the doctors tell me that I have many years coming to me – if…..

Yes, I got the law laid down about my weight. I need to lose thirty pounds through diet and exercise. The exercise has to continue and become part of my daily lifestyle. I think I can make the commitment to do this, no, I know it. The second thing I need to do, according to the medics is to eliminate stress in my life. I believe that will be the hard part.

 I know what you are thinking, “Hard part? This guy gets paid to go hunting and fishing! How can he feel any stress in his life?” This is true for the most part. My problem is that I take things to heart and get aggravated rather quickly when I see or read about things that greatly annoy or disturb me. I know it’s hard to believe but I have a bad temper.
