YIPEE!!! That is awesome news! Another hurdle soon, then it is behind you.

Did you read the article in Newsday yesterday about growing new bladders from the old cells? Interesting.

Oh, I also thought I saw Antonio Banderas in Naots - could it be? There was a pic of him dancing with Katie Couric.

Rock on!

WHOAOAOAHAOAOAHA!!!!!!!! wow.... i'm just back with the family from a killer Spring snowboarding trip to Whistler, BC- been out of touch with business, friends, family- the world for 6 days.... then i check in tonight after all-night flights, cranky kids, light wallet, etc, etc... to get back home and what do i see?---THE BEST NEWS I HAVE READ IN A LONG, LONGGGG TIME!!! YOU DID IT! WE DID IT! LOVE TO EVERYONE INVOLVED ON ALL LEVELS- i am truly amazed at the circle of people around this man, and all of our connections to the Cheffo family, Naot, shoes salesmen, The Allmans, The Dead, Ratdog, etc, etc... just blows my mind to be a part of it all in such a positive way. i, for one, cannot wait to walk out on that "half-circle bridge" over the canyon with you, that we all blogged on about a few months back, at the next WSA- just the metaphorical aspect of this whole journey has been a life-altering event for me. Tom, you are a living inspiration, and one of the lucky ones- you know that already.
We love you!
