At least you had sense enough not to plan your heart attack in
advance so you didn't get to spend 6 months worrying about your
garden. No, you were smart enough just to go on and have your heart
attack and get it over with. Me, I've got to spend 6 months worrying
about something that won't mean squat after this surgery. I reckon
I'm more melodramatic than you are George, although that going for a
heart attack could push you into my level.
I am happy to know that you and the missus didn't starve to death
because you didn't get the canning done.
