I started lurking during the "White Water" threads of years past but the events of 9/11/01 made me want to be apart of the one and only FRee Republic network and it's many shades of posters.I am a native born Californian living on the NW Coast and while I am a victim of the political reality I am very content to live here and enjoy the many positive attributes that are offered. I begin my 7th decade with many reasons to be satisfied with blessings I have received in the form of family and friends and community.

Time to update things here. After some weird health issues early in 2004 I ended up in UCSF for a Triple Bypass on July 27th. Thanks to a FReeper Prayer thread things are looking good and improving daily. Moral of story...don't neglect that strange feeling in your chest/stomach. Get a stress test and angiogram if that's want the Doc wants. A 34 year old friend just had a 6 way bypass here in Eureka. Three of his arteries were 90% blocked!!!
