That really looks fantastic. Hope you are doing okay, Rob. I know 'okay' is relative when it comes to cancer and the treatment can knock you out more than the actual illness...
I am not speaking from my own experience but from my son's. He's going though treatment and I know how much it sucks.
I hope you keep your positive spirits up when you are not on the boards...that is something that can be hard to do. I really am sending you as much love as I can and hope to hear the treatment is going as it should. If you ever want to just vent and have a real good bitch about it all, pm me and I will be there for you.. I am sure you have good friends who are there for you but sometimes I feel the need for a friend who has the cancer shit going on too in order to really let loose!
Lorna!! Awesome card again, thanks for your time and effort you did an AMAZING job and everyone involved you all kick some serious ass. Rob, keep hangin in there man! :thumbup:
The best revenge is to live on and prove yourself - EV
Wow Lorna that is awesome I'm glad it has put a smile on your face Rob, it has certainly put one on mine

I knew the punchline as soon as you said dc and beer
Are you surprised I haven't forgotten about the beer you said you'd buy next time I'm in Chicago? :P
It was, of course, to share but Rob didnt have much of an appetite for beer. That chicken pot pie he wolfed down smelled pretty damn good though.
On another (comical) note, I accidentally sent Rob a text message intended for someone else that said "I miss you too dude!"
Haven't heard back from him on my clarification text... :? :P

I was playing basketball Monday night on this rec league I'm on. Went up for a rebound, the ball got smashed into my thumb. It hurt pretty damn bad. Looked down to see half my thumbnail bent straight-up. :shock: Sat the remainder of the game out because of the blood and the fact that there was less than 2 minutes left.
I really didn't think that was possible. The most painful part was pushing the nail back down.

one week ago, my chemo doc gave me a week break. said I'd end up in the ER if he didn't. last Th-Sat, I was in the toilet . I rebounded pretty nicely this week. Now, I'm back on the chemo and have to hope I don't sink back into the depths because we've got Ed in LA one week from tomorrow. please send your thought, vibes, prayers, whatever that I'm in LA a week from tomorrow. I'll be doing everything I can do this week to not have a repeat of last week!
btw - I had a dream last night...I was second row, dead center for Ed....and slept thru the whole show :wtf:

Thoughts and prayers send to make that come true for you..
Stay possitive and strong my friend..
Not only will you be there but you'll be energized by Ed and the crowd and hearing Ed's music LIVE! Dreams are sometimes what we have to tell us if we don't do something differently, what we dreamed about might occur (at least that's what I believe). So, alter your routine ever so slightly on the day of the show and you'll find a way to stay awake. Pretty simple, huh?
Positive Chi sent your way and all this week leading up to the show!
I can see Eddie shushing the crowd after noticing our friend needing a little 'time out' to himself
...He takes the heckling drunks more than any artist should, and even politely informs the #odger fans that they have a beautiful little place being the Wiltern, but once he looks down at front center and sees our pal Rob catching a nap... he slowly and precisely quiets his Uke on a fading note that hangs in the air, resonating across everyone in the room, until finally the note finds its way into the soul that it is healing...
Quiet all across the auditorium, until Rob senses that all eyes are upon him, and looking around sheepishly can do the only thing possible... "Hey Eddie, you mind playing ___________________ for me"
