As you know I am pretty much a cheerleader for everything, I understand it is both a strength and a weakness--either way I can't help it, it's who I am. I count on you to be honest about how good something truly was or wasn't, and while I'm sure you can pick elements of this roller coaster ride apart--I think what really sticks with me after all is said and done is that we approached it as a fun, crazy idea and actually stuck to the insane idea and had fun while doing it. At the same time, I don't think we lost sight of the message we both truly believe in. I see it as our first successful, collaborative attempt to spread the good word of what I hope will be many, many more such occasions. I love you man! Tom,
