I highly encourage you to continue to ‘advertise’. How else we will know!

And agree with all the comments that came before.

They are very talented and artistic. Great work!

Don't confuse advertisements with a parent's earned expression of pride and love. Now keep them heart-healthy and join in the chorus (presuming you can carry a tune!).

Thank you. I think I can carry a tune, but I think my daughters would disagree. P

Thank you so much, Jim. I remained honored that someone as accomplished as you reads the blog. I also admire all you have contributed to ECG reading with your text book, and also your contributions to our understanding or coronary calcium in runners. For those of you who don't know, Jim was among the first to note that longtime endurance athletes had more coronary atherosclerosis than sedentary people. This contribution was published in Missouri Medicine so sometimes gets overlooked. I have always wondered if you published it there because you were "ahead of your time" and other journals and reviewers were not accepting of the concept...which has turned out to be true!

They could be called The Thompson Twins! Or maybe there’s an 80s band that took that name already?😅

They once were called The Thompson Twins, but had to relinquish that name because two middle aged men from Ohio, I think, owned the name!
