Michele & Jason left for orlando to set up and do the surf expo show today...that was my first trade show 12 1/2 years ago and it feels strange not traveling and doing what i have done for so many years....but just because i am on these "inconvenience drugs" called chemo therapy..i had to stay home....well boo hoo for me.....i mean who wants to go to a trade show where half the women are wearing the latest bikinis anyway.....me that's who...but i guess i will stay home and help hold down the fort and get ready for next weeks national sales meeting...all my road crew is coming in...gonna be emotional for sure........maybe even break out my guitar for a song or two.....you do not have to twist my arm for that...you can bet the farm on it.........so to the crew in orlando..incl..kent,felicia,tom,lisa and barry...knock em dead ..take no prisioners..tell em i said hey.........
was starting to pull out of my chemo slide yesterday...but slipped backwards today...it was weird one minute your on top of the world and the next....just like the old batman tv show KER-POW...and then your back in the quick sand again.....just trying to hang on..thinking of one thing...( no not that silly).. of a hot bath......and warm covers and that is it.....oh and maybe that Future...which my son so clearly stated...is now

At least you know you have no fears with MOG and Jason stepping in. You have trained them well and they always want to make you proud. Hmm, can we trust Jason around girls in bikini's??? Miss that guy!!!
Tom, you have reached more people than most and you have many more lives to touch. Who can help but love you? Look at the amazing children you and Susan have raised - they are truly a product of your love and guidance.
I am sure you will be back at the shows before you know it. I want to say enjoy the break, but I know how much you love them (what is wrong with you!?!? - lol).
That is a great shot by the way, help me out - where in the office is it? Looks like you guys made some nice changes there, it looks good (oh, and of course that much better seeing that there is a hottie in the shot!!).
Well, gotta run - let me know if you are really planning that walk at the Grand Canyon. The schedule is pretty flexible these days so maybe I can surprise ya!!
