Hi Doug,
Thanks for your interest and your question. I'm happy to say that I'm still here (for how long, that is the question). All I can say is, I'm losing more weigh (down to 160 from 200 at Christmas) I'm very weak, as a result I'm not carving at all, the sad part is, I don't even have the strength to fish any more in my own back yard. The boats are trolling by every day and catching fish, they yell at me as I sit on the patio the odd afternoon for a while. I spend most of the day in my lazy boy chair supposedly watching TV but most of the time I'm sleeping.
I do get to the computer once or twice a day and read the messages but as I'm not contributing any more I really don't have much to say. I hope I've answered your question and thank you again for asking.
Regards to all of my great friends on here.
Cliff

I agree with Dick & Dave, our prayers go out to you and a special prayer that you can get out and catch another one of those huge carp. God Bless You, Dan

Hello Cliff,

I hope and pray that if life deals me the hand you are holding I play it half as couragously and with the dignity you have expressed here.

While I have not had the pleasure of meeting you, I too feel as though you are an old faithful friend. May God hold you in the palm of his hand and make your path straight and smooth.

Take care, thanks for keeping us updated.
God bless you and the Mrs.
Doug
