Treadmilling Life

b1-66er: Just got a call from the cardiologist's office.

"Your heart stopped for 3.8 seconds on the last trial.

You need to come in for a stress test."

Followed by The Accomplice speaking very loudly...

And me following up by saying loving things like, "have you ever noticed I don't tell YOU how to live YOUR life?"

Lawrencian: Oh jeebus.

Seems like a glitch to me.  That's over a period of weeks, right?

b1: A month, yes...

First time they said my heart stopped for 7 seconds.

L: 2.62 million seconds in a month

b1: I'll make sure to tell them that as I'm pacing on the treadmill.

(I haven't been able to RUN for 5 years.)

L: And what is the probability of your heart stopping during the stress test? A lot higher than not during a stress test I assume

b1: Well, at least you have a cardio there...I guess.

L:Said Mr. half glass full to Mr. half glass empty

More like a squawk

Comp-U-serve: I developed type II diabetes just looking at the preview picture! 

b1: Do I have to send you a pic of an insulin rig now?

CU: How about a pic of Super Pancreas wearing a cape?

Bellying-up the bird

Special K: Wow•

 With Elon in charge, Twitter could be worse than Facebook. Or I guess it could be good for humanity in some way I don't see. I've long thought Twitter has tremendous potential - but not necessarily as a commercial entity.

A final quack

b1-66er: Gilbert Gottfried died. He had MD.

b1-67er: Boy I don't think of muscular dystrophy patients making it into their 60's.

66: Me neither. He did remarkably well. I didn't even know he had it until I read his obit.

Once I saw I tiny TINY bit of a stand-up piece and said to The Accomplice, 'I would swear to you that he's had a stroke...'

... Almost.

67: Yeah that is a Steven Hawking run ... Top Tier Performance in the face of daunting illness.

The steaming event horizon

b1-67er: That's interesting but well off the beaten path. I've never even heard of Rico hot springs

D4rw1n: Nope me neither. South of telluride. "It's not the middle of nowhere, but you can see it from there"

If he's gonna drink, you better raise the borstal

b1-66er: <Wombo>

b1 -67er: It looks like he really did turn into a tech executive.

The unmistakable scent of pastrami on rye toast

b1-66er: <Wombo>

D4rw1n: I smell lunch
