He’s not a well man.

A friend of mine ran the NYC Marathon last November. Last month doctors found one of his arteries had 90% blockage.

It's amazing what not well men can do.

He's had his stint put in and is up and about. We're expecting many long years from him yet. I think he's about 61 now.

My mother's favorite health-story-to-tell was that when she was a teen (probably just barely, if I have my history right) she had Diphtheria. When she told me it was at a time in the winter when we were studying basic anatomy and how disease affected the body. Probably 7th Grade.

I asked her how she survived. Her answer? "I didn't know I was supposed to! No one told me it was usually fatal!"
