The importance of the right bicycle saddle

As many of you know reading my blog, I am a cyclist for life.

I just had an operation for prostate cancer done by Dr.Stanley Flax, the surgery went well and the stay at the NORTH YORK GENERAL HOSPITAL in Toronto,Canada (5 days) was very new for me, first time in an Hospital since I was born 66 years ago.

At the Hospital they keep asking me if I am allergic or what kind of medicine I used to have, I replied all the time:" Mint Tea when I have a stomach ache" and no allergies.

They hooked me at a Computerised Machine that supposed to give me all the medicine and nutrients I needed after my surgery and the most important gadget was a device that I had to click every time I had pain, this device sent directly to my blood stream the exact amount of Morphine.

They where very surprised that I did not use this gadget to often, but according to my knowledge and experience you do not need to abuse the pain killers.

Well thanks to my healthy life, my stay at the Hospital was short and pleasant(my sincere thank's to all the people at the Hospital).

Now the point is: If you want to avoid prostate cancer surgery, start to use now the Holey Saddle, for me was too late, I used to have this hard leather saddles since I was 6 years old (my first race ) up to 19 years old my last race, I did very well racing, I was Chilean Champion in my category many times.

The incredible thing about this story was that I did the Trade Mark Registration of my own brand HOLEY SADDLE 15 years ago, without knowing that I will needed in the future.

THE INCREDIBLE COOKIE ROSCOE

LAN CHILE FLIGHT 532

I went to Chile via Lan Chile Airlines, on the way to Chile I went through New York no problem, then to Santiago Chile.
I had a wonderful time in Chile, Summer time there winter in Canada, I left Toronto with a very painful knee, as soon as I arrived in Chile and then to Vilches(Little Canada Ranch) the pain was gone, I went fishing , up and down the mountains, got a nice suntan and I came back to Toronto full of energy, healthy and happy to see my wife and family.
On the way back to Toronto from Santiago we went through the New York Airport, ""IT WAS A NIGHTMARE", a long line up was waiting for us, immigration,customs and security check(no matter we were Canadians passengers on transit).
Finally we arrived at Gate 5 for our departure to Toronto(1 hour and 30 minutes later), I tried to call Gloria(my wife in Toronto) and I did not have American coins to use the phone, I went to a store and I begged for change from Canadian Dollar's to American with no luck, suddenly my life changed from frustration to happiness, a nice lady from U.S.A gave me the US$1 in coins to call home, a very happy ending.
Incredible but true.

G Ross Lord Park

This Park is located South of Steeles and East of Dufferin, this is our favorite park to go cycling with Gloria, this Summer we found a Deer that ignored us when we passed by, nice park and closed to everybody, it is incredible that you find wild animals inside of the great city of Toronto.
Incredible but true, only in Canada.

Too much hamlet for me

Long time ago I was approached by Lois to help her with her movie, 19 years later the movie is still not finished, or if it it ready, I do not know . I always have faith and I think some day will be ready and the world will see a very touching movie that will make them to have a different view of the actual world, I think some changes are happening right now, but with a lot of patience we will see the results.
Incredible but true.
