I remember last year - on Superbowl Sunday, 2007 -- I discovered this forum and I am so grateful for that.

I've said this before and here I go again.  When I logged on to HealingWell and had to come up with a screen name, I typed in "PianoMan," a name I had never used before.  (I'm an amateur piano player, but certainly no Billy Joel.)

It was just before the game was to begin and after posting my first message here, I went out to the family room and -- lo-and-behold -- there was Billy Joel wailing out the National Anthem.

"Kismet," I thought, and I was right.

I want to thank every one of you for your help over the past year and I hope I've been able to spread some good vibes your way as well.

I hope to post here again the day of Superbowl LXI, with the subject line (stolen from Paul McCartney), "It Was Twenty Years Ago Today!"  Maybe he'll be singing our national anthem that day at Superbowl -- LOL!

We've got a lot of wonderful things going on in this forum -- the people, the vibes, the prayers -- you name it.

Best to you all,

Tom

We have alot in common in this place. A site dedicated to healing. :-) . You are so right this place is a good thing goin' on. Through all of my experience with prostate cancer, Tom, I know you will agree, the nicest bright spot was coming here. God Bless you my Vegas buddy. Thanks for hangin around...

Pianoman,

Of course I won't be singing "When I'm 64" then, but still......
I'll order a few truckloads of peppers for our Loving Heartclub Band Reunion - in 2027!
Poblanos for you.  Bells for the ladies.  Bannana for myself.
And of course Serranos for Toni!

I say we meet at the pool at the Y where Mika and Ms. Blue & Buddy swim.

You guys are the best!  And yes TC-Vegas (Tony), I remember, we're alumni of the COH.  I'm so glad to hear how well you are doing and looking forward to getting together with you, Ruth, and some of our other PCa-survivor cronies here in the desert.  

To WD-40 and you veteran members, JetGuy, IzzyBlizzy, Pete's Travels, myman, Norskie, Cedar, War-Eagle, Biker90, TimG and the rest of ya.  I love you guys and thanks for all you do here.  Keep up the good work.  Sharing is Caring.  And that's what we all do best here.

"May your days be merry and bright -- and may all your future SuperBowls go right!!!  Unlike mine this year -- LOL!!

Oh well, maybe Super Tuesday will turn out better for me.  (Let's not go there.)

OK Bluebird, feel free to lock this one up.  I'm done.  I'm gettin' too schmaltzy here.  And that's a bad thing for a PianoMan to do.
