John,
I thought about you today as I drove to and from a meeting in downtown
birmingham. I was shocked to get home tonight and find this!

Glad you are well. I know it was a scare. Take Joy's advice and get healthy!
Do you still kayak? I'm working on a book now that will take me down the
cahaba, the black warrior and the sipsey if you want to paddle off some
pounds!

Jim up in Madison.
