You who are in or have been in College--ever have one of those times when you were really worried about a test but actually ended up doing pretty well? Sure, we all have. And do you remember those times (at least one!) when you were sure you would "ace" the test--no problem----and you flunked it!! (Come on, be honest -- we've all done that, too!)

Well that is what happened to me. I was pretty sure they would find some problem with my colonoscopy--but I "aced" it -- as you know from reading my previous Blog.

So I went Tuesday morning for my heart stress test. "No problem, right? I mean I walk on my treadmill at home and exercise and all that good stuff! This is just routine. You are ahead of me by now -- I "flunked" the thing! So in a few minutes I go to a Cardiology group and have what they call a "stress echo test". This is to be sure the other test wasn't wrong. (I don't think it was wrong!) I asked the doctor the other day what happens if I "flunk" this test today. His answer was short and to the point. He said (and I quote): "All hell breaks loose!"

So I'll let those of you who read this thing know what I find out. I'm supposed to go from the Cardiologist immediately to the dentist -- lucky me! Then I leave for Covington, Indiana, near the Indiana-Illinois border. I have meetings there and my client wants to show me a place near Attica, Indiana, called "The Badlands", famous for off-roading for trucks, dirt bikes and the like. I guess it is a big deal there every weekend.

I'll post this and write more this afternoon before I take off.
