Kerry...I saw your ad a while back...I've been out of commission
since the semester has been horendous. I'm really out of shape but
hope to get back in this summer...had ablacion of AV node (the relay
station for electrical impulses) and pacemaker put in during January
intersession...I felt a whole lot better after that! But I still need
to get some sleep and start exercising again in June once I have some
time away from the frenetic, unpredictable pace of life at a
university...you wouldn't think it would be that way, would you? But
it is...

Hope you are well...and that Peggy gets back into riding too.
