CHAPTER 1

SI-RENITY

In January 2005, I suffered a heart attack while duck hunting with my brother Phil and his sons. I knew something was very wrong with me, but I went home and climbed into bed. Hey, I’ll admit it wasn’t the smartest thing I’ve ever done. When I woke up the next morning, my chest pains were so severe that I told Christine to take me to the emergency room.

After doctors examined me and put a camera down my throat, they told me I needed open-heart surgery. My left main coronary artery was completely blocked. Doctors told me I had what they call a “widow-maker,” which could kill me any minute.
