I might be a little late tagging on to the Season's Greetings and Happy New Year, but best wishes to all from me also. Every one has been so helpful and supportive it's been a real comfort.

I look back at this year and realize last Christmas I was recovering from the first go around still, and during the last year had another surgery and a second round of RAD/Chemo, and wonder how I made it through.

I also managed to get married to a wonderful woman, buy a new apartment, and ride an elephant through the forests in Thailand. I've also learned a lot about courage from a lot of people, and learned a lot about myself in the process.

And hopefully along the way I can give back what I got from this group and help some others through their journey.

Happy Holidays and best wishes for the coming New Year.

Bob
