TJM Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I've mentioned before that I am buying into a pub. Doing it with a guy I have known for years. We are going to be really great partners. I'm am approaching this like I have never had cancer. He knows my situation and is still all in. My wife is extremely happy because this has given me such a spark. My Lord...even my mother in law supports it. A unique opportunity and what I have been looking for something like this for years. Long before the big C. I'm actually so pumped it's hard to sleep. I feel great (no pain) and I'm really good at managing a group of people. I've done if for years. Difference now is I am the owner. No boss. No dogma. No BS. Why post this? First because I know a lot of people here truly care about me. Second is that this little project energizes me and makes me want to live. It's been to long since I have felt like this. For everyone who is in the middle of this horrible disease...live life. Easier said than done, I know. You can have cancer and still live life. I want you all to come and have a free lunch and beer. I would post a pictures but not sure how. Anyway. I love you guys and I owe everyone a debt. A debt of gratitude. Wishing good scans for all Peace Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rower Michelle Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Ya know we all love you & are genuinely thrilled! It’s the joy protocol, hard for cancer to make an appearance in the face of raging endorphins! If we’re in your neck of the woods next year we will definitely pop in! Cheers to you!

Tom Galli Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Tom, Perhaps 3 decades ago, I made a stop in Longview for gas and a bite to eat. I was stationed at Ft. Lewis at the time and traveling to Camp Withycombe to evaluate Oregon Army National Guard summer training. Longview in those days was a quaint little town close to I-5 and nestled between the Cowlitz and Columbia rivers. I recall difficulty finding a decent place to eat. So, perhaps Longview still needs a good pub! I'm sure yours will be a success. BTW, engineers lead the way! Stay the course. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
