Joel commented in his post that maybe Tom is not sick. He may have a point. AFter all, we haven't seen an incision. Here is a picture taken last night. He is on the phone with Jerry Hogan (his mentor, friend, drum corps afficionado and child fav)chatting up a storm while the nurse gets her evening assessments. See him smiling? Does he look like a man who just had surgery? The nurse herself commented that he has WAYYYYY too much energy and she couldn't believe how well he was doing. She planned to give him sleeping medicine to turn him off. Of course, in his left hand he is also holding (and pressing) his epidural pain button. So maybe his brilliant first day is a testimony to modern pain management, Tom's exceptional conditioning (he just ran a half marathon), the triumph of prayer and the human spirit, or maybe this is all a fake so he can get his keynote written. WHAT DO YOU THINK???

Tom,
I've tried calling a number of times. Your line is always busy. Will you stop working and "enjoy" your forced time off.
So happy to hear that everything seems to be going well for you. Was thinking about you a lot yesterday. I'm now sitting in the Phoenix airport waiting for a plane to Des Moines (what fun!). I'll try calling you again. Here is to a speedy recovery my friend. Can't wait to have a few rounds with you at Monks!!!!
