Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."

Follow-up from a physical -- more tests needed to confirm no issues after a higher than expected cardiac calcium test. Told not to run until I get results...
Results received -- released to run. Still have some follow up to do with specialists, but everything looking good.
