This is an X-ray showing my Pacemaker. If you look closely you can see the two wires running from the Pacemaker to my heart. The doctor says everything looks good. The heart beat is regular and blood pressure is normal.
Driving to Hanscom on Route 2. I'm speeding but I'm still the slowpoke on this road.

The tomatoes are coming along nicely.
Here are the bandages after Mohs surgery. All skin cancer has been successfully removed!
Here I am as Little Blue Ridinghood with the amazing staff at APDERM in Westford, MA, right off of 495.
At the ballgame in Coolidge Park near Fitchburg State College.
Ouch, that's gotta hurt. Actually, it looks worse than it feels. This is my new Pacemaker. I needed it because my pulse was less than 30 (that's low even for me). It should last over twelve years. I got it at St. Elizabeth's on Friday and went home on Saturday. All is good, I feel great!
Me and Jacob.
I'm about to get run over by this little car.

Happy Birthday!

I had my heart checked on Friday with an echo cardiogram and 3 hour stress test. As you can see from the photo, I was exhausted. I will see the doctor on Monday to go over the results.

This fence was installed about 5 years ago... and look at it now.
Here's the reason. The fence should have been set 3 ft into the ground, but it was incorrect set only 1/2 foot deep with concrete.
