• I agree with mytimetotravel: Reading that their daughter learned to ride her bike inside the house made me wonder about this AI family. I guess it could have been worse than a chipped floorboard.

• It's been 15 years for me. At age 50, my situation seemed so straightforward: Surgery was the most logical, thorough choice. I cannot imagine anyone better suited than you, Dr. Dailey, to make such difficult decisions. I admire your fluid approach and your willingness to share it with us.

• I actually identify with your son aspiring to be a gas station attendant. When my dad would pull into the Texaco for $3 worth of regular, I was always enthralled with how clean a squeegee could get a windshield and also how you could have a miniature bank right there in your pocket to make change. (I guess nowadays this kind of dream is confined to kids in Oregon and New Jersey.)

• Re: Your lede topic ... Changing your diet so you pass the physical exam -- isn't that like slowing down on the freeway just because you see a police car waiting up ahead? I am a fellow prediabetic and avid exerciser, with an upcoming physical, determined to adopt some healthful habits, maybe even some that will be maintained. (And I suspect we both obey speed limits, within reason.) As for the Checkup, I found it very useful and encouraging, but then I consider Humble Dollar itself a daily checkup.
