Taken in November 2006 when wife and I spent 10 days on the Tundra Buggy Lodge to view Polar Bears. I have recently had some heart rhythm problems, saw Cardiologist in San Antonio 12/5/17 and will have to see electrophysiologist (specialist in heart rhythm disturbances) in Jan 2018. Will be starting on $$$$$ expensive blood thinners very soon to prevent strokes. Have been a little busy lately and hope to catch up soon. Have Happy Holidays.
