Something very cool!
« on: November 06, 2009, 04:51:46 pm »
As some of you may know, I joined the hat club a while back -- sort of.  Steve made me a hat and sent it to me -- confirmation and everything.  What Steve didn't know is that the people who live on the lower floors of my building are morally challenged.  The hat was taken before I could get to it.  I felt bad because Steve went to the effort and it also reminded me of the area I live in to be near studios. What could have been fun -- wasn't.

Well, Sara (Sara143) felt bad as well.  And Sara (God bless her) made me a hat and sent it to me (this time by signature confirmation).  So now I am officially a member of the Hat Club.  My thanks again to Steve and thank you Sara for thinking of me.  Now hopefully I can load the picture.

David,

Glad that you actually received this hat.  It looks nice on you.  Your smile is looking good, too.  Glad that you are now part of the hat club.

David ~

You look good in your new hat!  Kudos to Sara for her initiative.  I hope your balance issues have resolved somewhat...we've missed you around here.

4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

Excellent! I am going to add this picture to my web site as a proxy for the hat you almost got.

I also agree that the smile and facial expression is looking very good. I think that is a twinkle I see in your eye.

Nice work, Sara.

David! You've been VERY missed around here!  That is so neat what Sara did!  You look fantastic! Truly! :)

Sara, well done... one of the best "Acts of Kindness" anyone could do (as well as Steve!).

Very nice!
