Something else that has changed with me

Let’s just say for the sake of details that I had sex tonight with a super lady.

As amazing as that is, let’s just say that isn’t the main story here. The main story here is that after the sexual interlude, I could feel my chest tighten up or my arteries constrict similar to the way it felt about a week before my heart attack last year.

Let me explain.

Last year, I was smoking cigarettes like a freight train. About a week before my heart attack, I could feel a tightness in my chest around my heart. What was happening was (in my non-professional opinion) the oxygen and blood to my heart was limited due to the artery constricting, or getting smaller due to the cigarette smoke. The artery got so constricted, it wouldn’t allow enough oxygen and blood to get through at all, thus, the heart attack.

The episode after my sexual encounter this evening was scary to me, because I had not felt that constriction in my chest since my heart attack, and it’s like yet another warning to me.

Now, I no longer smoke, but I am guessing my cholesterol is building back up again. Which leads me to the medicene that the doctor has prescribed called Crestor.

40 years after Woodstock, a more harmonious society

From  USAToday

 

Historians often look at 1968 as the apex of that strange era known as the ’60s. But running through the many 40-year anniversaries this summer, it is hard not to conclude that 1969 reveals more about where the nation was then and how far it has come.

The moon landing, Sen. Edward Kennedy’s accident at Chappaquiddick, and the bizarre murders engineered by Charles Manson all happened within a few dizzying weeks of each other in July and August 40 years ago. And this weekend marks the anniversary of the ultimate ’60s happening — the Woodstock music festival in rural Bethel, N.Y.

Woodstock, like the moon landing, was supposedly going to usher in a new era that never came. Today, we aren’t living in space colonies. Nor have we arrived at some utopian society dedicated to peace, love and free music.
