But chance are very high that absent an "ablation" procedure, it will go back into aFib within a year, and I will have to keep taking a nasty drug and even with than there's a 40% chance of going out of rhythm. So, next Thursday and Friday I am back at Weill-Cornell for the procedure and tests preparing for it. And dreading it. Sony not to be in touch. I am finding communicating to be a chore. Chalk it up to the cocktail of beta-blockers etc they are giving me every day. Otherwise, on the medical front, my eye doctor died last week and my dentist sent me a bill of $92,000 (total for '15: $104k)! In terms of biz, one reason to have children: I didn't go to Frankfurt of course (haven't for several years) and we had one of the best weeks ever as, the day b before the Book Fair, Max signed Hans Rosling, the biggest star over the years at TED, who has never written a book. Hans's book became "the" book of the Fair and it's all anyone talked about for a week. The deals are rolling in. And I didn't even know about it a week ago and have never meet or been in touch with Rosling. Thanks for staying in touch. JB Private email: Mobile: EFTA00843142
