I am saddened by his passing, I always enjoyed talking with him before and after the races. For those who never met him, he could sail the Inter 20 solo and did so quite often. But he was a big guy.

As a Comercial Pilot, I have to take a flight physical every 6 months, and an EKG once a year. Flunk just one and you are done for years, or maybe forever. I am always interested in what kills pilots, or causes us to flunk physicals. As far as I know, Heart Disease is still the number one killer in the USA. Take care of your ticker if you want to live long.

I'm eating oatmeal for breakfast now and very rarely do I eat red meat. But I was never a Ham n' eggs kind of kid or adult anyway. I grew up on the NH seacoast and I've always loved seafood so that's always my first choice if I have a choice, then chicken, never fried, then what ever the dogs didn't want... <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> And now I eat a lot of salads, which I always hated as a kid but Mom made me eat'em. Sucks getting old but it beats the alternative.
