I open with interest and read not about a book report, but Jimbo almost casually mentions that he has had a heart attack, before going on to talk about the book.<br /><br />Shit, if that had happened to me, I think the title of my blog post might not have been about a book review!!<br /><br />Jimbo, I am sorry to hear about your news and I am sure you are not as casual about it as I have implied. I hope you a) get better soon, b) finally listen to all those voices in your head that tell you smoking is a dumb thing to do and never ever smoke again, c) don’t have any on-going problems with this, d) keep us informed about how it is going. I stopped smoking about 5 years ago and I was on about 30 a day, so I know it isn’t easy, but you have just had a big wake up call.<br /><br />Take care Buddy!Gary Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05163380727432573785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-1612268985937713772011-01-25T22:41:14.655-06:002011-01-25T22:41:14.655-06:00Well fuck, that sucks.

Looking forward to the book report.<br /><br />GAW<br /><br />P.S.

I am always surprised when a thin guy...Dear Jimbo:<br /><br />I am always surprised when a thin guy in relatively good shape has a heart attack. I am delighted that you have walked away from this one, and will get another chance. I didn't realized you smoked. I know almost nobody who does anymore. And when I see someone I know, even remotely, with a cigarette, I am almost mortified. (I smoke cigars but never inhale.)<br /><br />I deeply regret that you went through the pain and the horror of having to look death in the eye, though I suspect you had no difficulty spitting in it. If I was betting man, my money would have been on you. The only downside to this is that those great pork fests you used to write about so vividly are probably over... <br /><br />I sincerely hope your recovery is faster than you think, and that you get to enjoy your personal time like never before. Read several books. Do you like history? I will send you one. If you care to zap me your address I will send you one of the best books ever written about the American Revolution. I guarantee you will love it, where you might even want to discuss it on the phone. (It is that good.)<br /><br />Should you find cause to come out this way, we'll find you a scooter (I know a singing nun with one.)and we can ride over to "Valley Forge," the second worst winter in Washington's life. <br /><br />Jack Riepe<br />Publisher of Twisted Roads<br />jack.riepe@gmail.comJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-38105844773270575682011-01-24T20:13:09.055-06:002011-01-24T20:13:09.055-06:00Jim:

Perhaps it was a side effect of the drugs. <br /><br />I'm glad you're with us. now it's time to smell the roses, work a bit less and enjoy some of the benefits of working hard.<br /><br />bob <br /><a href="%E2%80%9Dwww.wetcoastscootin.blogspot.com%E2%80%9D" rel="nofollow">bobskoot: wet coast scootin</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-17593987716269454892011-01-24T19:28:42.394-06:002011-01-24T19:28:42.394-06:00I echo Stacy: Get well, now!!
