"the love you take is equal to the love you make"


i was thinking about this great line from the beatles and thought well if this is a balance you look for in life then that is not to bad....if you can give out a certain amount of love to people and get back the same amount then i guess that's pretty good....but what if you gave out more love than you received in return.....well then that is pretty good also...so I am determined to give out more love this week than i expect in return (which in my case is not possible.... because everywhere i go people have been ...wonderful to me)... to see if i can turn this sour taste of the economy,the housing industry, the war, the mets,the illness, the bad drivers, the telemarketers, the voice mails, the poor service, the mets (did i mention them already), the people who refuse to hold open a door for you , plastic bags, pepsi, anything that has diet on it, richard simmons, OJ,global warming and the mets..( ok we still have a shot)...we can pay it forward..tighten our belts and plow on .......plow on .......because if you do not plow the fields..nothing grows.....and isn't life just like that....so here to all of u who still read me .....I LOVE YOU...........twice as much as you think.....


those who see me daily know that this was a tough week and the chemo is accumulating in my body and is pulling me in a direction i am not used to .....however i will pull out of it and only have one set of treatment left......yahooooooooo....i will keep you posted ....leukemia fund raise huge success..over $6,000 raised ...love you all .......tom

The Hope.....


got this title "the hope" from one on my dearest friends, paul cartwright..seems like his young daughter tess has one of top fantasy baseball teams in the country...out of 75,000 teams she is in the top 4...now that is pretty amazing ......
also what is pretty amazing is the results of my last ct/scan ...seem like this crap i am putting in ,my body is working and the spots on my lungs are disappearing....looks like two more treatments and i will be off the sauce....so (six more fun filled times in the chair)...kinda getting used to being totally bald and will be sad to see my shinny head go ...yeah right ,,,,,


so here is to "the hope" in the world.......smile..love ..live
