This is a long one please forgive my rant..if you want to add something send it to my comments or thunderbyd@aol.com.....
WOULD LIKE TO SEE HAPPEN IN OUR WORLD
· That my family, friends and pets stay free of life threatening illnesses and live to a ripe old age (not to old where we start to smell)
· That my daughters bravery and courage pays off and a real cure is made possible by her selfless act of kindness (she is currently in a trial for the leukemia vaccination)
· That my son Chris sees his beloved mets, jets, knicks or islanders win a championship in his life time (he was so young when the mets won in “ 86”)
· That our children and pets see real peace in their lifetime (seems like from the beginning of mankind this has been impossible….tall order I guess)
· That we stop using what’s left of our planets resources and start “healing the world” rather than continuing to destroy it
· That our media starts to recognize the good people of the planet and stop glorifying the criminals. Pay more attention to the healers, teachers, shoe saleman, scientists, dishwashers and the people who are doing something worthwhile
· That people open their eyes to what a simply beautiful world this is, and be thankful for the nature that exists all around us.
· That people stop bitching about calling a Christmas tree a Christmas tree..for Christ sake that what it is ..like a apple is a apple or a pear is a pear….and while I am on the subject what does eggs have to do with Easter
· That I never stop having the urge to hold the door open for the person behind me or hold out my arm to assist someone in need
· That the laughter of little children will always make me smile and trees, birds, flowers and all nature continue to hold a true place in my heart and that all people a least once gaze into the Grand Canyon
· That good music, real music whatever you conceive that to be continue to bring joy and happiness into your soul
· That people that are paid to protect and serve us do so with care and caution so they return safe and sound into their loved ones arms
· That a true leader emerge from my generation and leads this country into the future with some of these goals in mind
· That lip singing is a thing of the past ( threw this in to see if your still with me)
· That one day not a single child goes to sleep hungry or unloved
I know I have asked for a lot but even if one of my requests gets for filled…… I will be a very happy man
Wishing your days to be filled with moments of joy and your nights be warmed by the fires in your hearts
Happy Holidays……Tom

WORD!!! you have, and continue to heal the world just by being in it, TC!
I surfed some beautifully shaped, glassy waves on Mission Beach this morning, just after sunrise- I thought that maybe you had seen the same sunrise about 3hrs earlier on the east coast- so I just jammed as best I could (for an old dude)trying to emulate you and feel mother nature beneathe my feet and board,... trying to listen and learn from what was happening around me- not just in the water- but everything in my life- my family, my most excellent friends, experiences both past and present, the holidays... I have learned a whole lot from you, in a relatively short time, my buddy- your perpective on life and what comes and goes keeps me going on these long trips- youve been there and done that may times before me- and I hope to be something of a reflective mirror to flash it back to you and return to you the energy and love you've so unselfishly shared with everyone who's felt your super-posistive energy all the years in the past, and all the years in your future.
You may not know this, but I saw my first MLB game in Shea, IN 1969!!! Of course, I was only 3 nd dont' remember anything- but THAT HAS TO COUNT!!! We soak up this world from the moment we get into it- maybe you were at that game, watching it, listening to it- karma is indeed at work, and we have probably been connected somehow since.
Love ya, bro,
Kev
Amen!
