[Spridgets] Chuck answering a request

Hi Chuck,

I guess it's no consolation that I get to miss Carlisle Imports every year
but I do have good memories of the 3 visits I did get to make.  I'm not ill
very often but when I have been I found one of the worse things is that
it's boring and I can't get on with doing anything.  I don't think there
any 'spring chickens' on the list and I think you might be older than me (I
am 60).

While I do always worry a bit about friends who are ill, I especially worry
about American friends and hope they have medical insurance.  About the
only thing I don't have to worry about when I get ill is what it's going to
cost, because it doesn't.  However, probably my biggest regret in life is
not looking after my teeth when I was a kid and that is something that has
cost me.

So, take things steady, read a book (or several) - let me know if you need
any recommendations . . . . Maybe do a jigsaw puzzle (some nice ones with
old cars on them - I have a few) and keep posting to the list.

I've attached a couple of Photos from my last Carlisle visit in 2008 in
case anyone wasn't there!

Regards

Daniel
