    And frequently a better shot too!!

    Glad to see you're staying positive Jim.

    You guys!

    Yes, she's a better shot than I am, also: besides being smarter, friendlier, better looking, looking 20 years younger than me...I don't know why she married me: I'm just glad that she did!

    I do not believe any of the the above, but flattery willl get you everywhwere, my love! However, I am not nearly as lovingly attentive as you, dear husband! I knew a good thing when I met you, and snatched you up quickly!

    Thank you all for your warm wishes. I am near tears as I read your kind words. I feel so well, and unafraid, with all of you praying for me. I feel that everything will be fine, and I will have a nice summer recuperating while Jim fans me with palm branches and feeds me grapes!

    Jim told me to tell you guys that he is watching a man throwing aspirin in the air and shooting them with a .22 rifle.

    Great to hear you're in such good spirits, Jim will earn his keep this summer

    Just make sure he peels the grapes properly

    Yes, but I was watching this on television, not out my front window!

    Some of these shooters are unbelievable: bursting two balloons with a .22 bullet cut in half by firing it onto a blade...firing eight accurate shots from a .45 automatic in 1 second...tossing eight clay pigeons in the air with one hand and then shooting all 8 in the air with a pump shotgun...just incredible, in the real sense of that much overworked word!

    Sounds to me like Jan is still keeping up with her shooting skills

    Yes! And she'll get even better with the practice she'll get while recuperating!
