I write often on these NGs, but I got hit by a healt emergency and have been

"out of it" for a few days. It turned out to be the same thing that recently killed

a good local video producer (a maker of Nat. Geo. and other educational videos

that have seen wide distribution) - but I was luckier (so far...). Advice of the day:

if you suddenly feel weak and "odd" or uneasy, with sweats, check your pulse!

If it is irregular, GO IMMEDIATELY to get it checked out! DO NOT WAIT!!!

Though it can seem like a minor "event" at the time, and hardly worth bothering

with, THIS COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE! And, getting "zapped" can be fun...;-)
