Tried to post unsuccesfully several times on Hotel computers in Ca. Got home late last night (11/17/08) from our 3 week adventure to a friendly bed and a friendly computer.

Glad to report I am feeling great, better than I have for a while. Had a heart cath that resulted in one stint installed to open a 99% blocked artery. Everything went great no problems and no permanent damage to my heart.

Got to feeling so good in a few days after the surgery we decided to stay thru Pomona as originally planned. Lee Zane gratiously agreed to drive our car at the Finals and did a great job. Lost in the second round by .002 with a great light and a really good job on the big end. As they say stuff happens sometimes.

Having the car back on the track made me feel much better also. Thanks again Lee.

Thanks to all of you for the posts, emails and calls. They were greatly appreciated especially being in a scary situation so far from home.
