Phil > I assumed it was a physical problem, and that didn't sound good.

It's a problem with my kidneys and it messes up my blood pressure and my urine production so some days I don't feel so great.

> Glad to see you are in good form as usual.

Thanks very much for your concern and encouragement but I am still around. Other than the soaring gold and oil prices and the falling Treasuries and USD there wasn't much to talk about -- was there?!

> what you said to Santi, about a problem you may not be able to overcome?

And it was very immediate too. As you must have gathered from my emotional display, I was feeling real bad that day. My blood pressure was going up and up and after hearing what James said I decided I would not take any extra drugs to prevent it as I had been doing but let it do what it wanted to do and if I was going to have a stroke I would. I don't know if you have ever felt resigned to fate like that? Anyway, my BP went up to 180 and came down again -- all by itself. So, maybe there was "divine" intervention, I don't know? I even told my wife about what James said and then what happened. I didn't tell James or even thank him because I don't know how to? Or maybe I'm just too embarrassed?!
