some of you may know I have (had?) cancer...

viewtopic.php?f=14&t=157216

whatever...not important...this post is about H2TM (Kyle) and his incredible kindness.

Kyle has been supporting me since this shit started in May....at one point, he send he a heavily taped, unabomberish looking package with a big ol' bottle of Ass Kisser Ale in it (a little play on the rectal cancer angle :roll: :lol: ).....prior to the vancouver PJ show, Kyle orchestrated a SF Giants jersey with Pearl Jam and #20 on the back.... once we got to vancouver (wearing the jersey), Kyle somehow had 4 big beers and a relish tray appear in the hotel mini fridge (chugged 'em down right before we caught a cab to the show).

now, today, this big ol' box ($28 postage :shock: ) arrives on my doorstep. Inside are 15 (yes, count 'em, 15) individually wrapped gifts for me, my wife Codie and our pooch Gracie.

I'm blown away, dude.....I hardly know what to say....I know there's some beer in there so I can't wait to rip into that (((( rubs hands together )))). this cancer shit sucks, but fantastic people like Kyle (and many, many others on this board) have made my journey a lot easier. Merry Christmas to all you fine folks!! :clap: :wave: :mrgreen:

    That is amazing!!! Kyle that is super thoughfull of you.

    The thing I like most about time is that it's not real. It's all in the head. Sure, it's a useful trick to use if you want to meet someone at a specific place in the universe and have tea or coffee- but that's all it is- a trick. There is no such thing as the past. It exists only in the memory. There is no such thing as the future. It exists only in our imagination. If our watches were truly accurate, the only thing they would ever say is "Now". That's what time it is. It's "Now". - Damien Echols

    I don't think I've ever been called splendiferous before but I like the ring to it! :lol:

    I'm truly honored. Just trying to make someone's world a little better. But I have to say, I'm motivated by the generosity of the folks in this community and Rob's aplomb. Truly honored to be amongst you!

    Rob, Enjoy and thanks for holding a place in heaven for me. Not sure if I believe in it nor deserve to go if it does but its your sentiment that counts.

    Merry Christmas or Happy Happy for whatever you choose to celebrate and if a heavily wrapped package shows up on your stoop, poke it with a stick and listen for the hiss first!

    Peace!

    Kyle is absolutely the best!!! One of most generous, thoughtful and HILARIOUS people I know! :D
    So happy to see this thread!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

    Not only does he do all these wonderful things for Rob (and others around here), but he talks me off the ledge on a regular basis :lol::lol: THAT deserves a pat on the back alone :)




    (and Rob- I'm pretty sure that "Halifax" refers to Halifax '05; Kyle's favorite show)
