My Big Fat Geek Heart Attack

As I've previously referenced, a couple of months ago I had a heart attack. Sunday, August 5, 2018, to be precise. There I was, mowing the lawn. We have a postage stamp of a yard, nothing strenuous. It was a hot and humid outside, but far from the hottest day of the summer. In fact, …

When you pitch it that way it sounds relatively straightforward, however, let's see, how can I put this . . . Okay, if you read the …
