Hi Walt - I'm on the mend - how are you? Looking forward to RG getting into the race again, although 50th in points is not where he deserves to be - Damn recession. Missed RG on Wind Tunnel did you see it? Was disappointed he didn't do better at Baja - the guy just can't seem to get a piece of good luck. Keep in touch. Joan

cool vw

Hey Walt - long time no hear! I had two retina tears and had emergency surgery on 2/23/12. They put a gas bubble back of the eye to hold the retina in place - it is just beginning to recede enough that I can see on the right side. While it was impeding my views, it was very annoying, sent me off balance, and I was blind-sided on the right for a while, couldn't tell if anyone was there and walked into a few walls. Seems to be coming along. I have added Bete Carotene to my diet - supposed to be for eye health. I had tears before, but nothing like this - this was the worst. Had the surgery at Wills Eye in Phila. (supposed to be the best). Anyway how are you? I love to get messages from planet people, even though Robby isn't doing NASCAR, I still love to know how the other people are doing. Are you attending any races this summer? I can't because I used all of my sick and vacation time - maybe next year. Good to hear from You. Hope you are well - have a great day. Joan
