Thanks, Tim

Oddly enough, I started reading and listening to Christopher Hitchens just about the time that he was diagnosed with cancer. He earned his cancer(if you can say such a thing) thru heavy hard liquor consumption and cigarettes, whereas my condition was with me from the start. I never smoked (cigarettes) but have, being a good Irish-Catholic, drank my fair share of quality beer

I'm a single dad now(kids are 10 and 12), so I am worried about the possibility of fairly quick death due to aspiration pneumonia. But, I can do a lot of things to be healthier, and may live for another twenty years

BTW, that Astrology/The Factor exacta from Pool 2 pays about $7,000!
