Mr. thomas was flesh.....with feet of clay (as they say). He was
forgettable, as are we all. We live only as long as we are
remembered. You've got a ways to go.

Sorry to hear of your infirmity Wayne. It is hard to let go of the excesses
of youth etct nearing 75 I'm slowing down a bit these days - I find 18 holes
a bit to much for me. Statins seem to have done for me :-(

Given them up now and the legs are surely imroving.
