Hi Fellas!!

Good to be back.

Prolonged absence probably requires an explanation:

Had a heart attack in '07 which caused me to be out of work for a while.
Financial challenges followed.

However, worse part was post-cardiac depression. It is a real condition but took a manly man (translation: hardheaded) like me a long time to admit to it!! Wasted a lot of time and life by ignoring it.

Lost interest in work, hobbies, people, obligations, etc. Have a wonderful family who stuck by me!!

Well, that is all in the past now!

Need to get on the boards and make some amends and check on some unfinished business. Gonna try and make things right.

Welcome back. Been there with a 3 year illness. Makes you feel like you're not a REAL MAN anymore.

Now get your ass back to work. And send pictures.!

Guys, thanks for all the nice words....

dikwks.... hang in there.... lots of prayer and sometimes just get moving.. that can be the hardest part...

3rdAngus: Know what you mean but remember my Dad who died of a heart condition; went from 190lbs of muscle. to 125lbs of skin and bones.... but even after the change, I still saw "one ****'va man"! Not what you are but WHO you are!!
