Stage 4 cancer survivor and I get to wake up everyday. Remission for about 3 and half years. Loving life, the wife, dog, and baseball cards. Listening to The Monkees on Youtube and playing on Net54 right now.

I hear ya Lou. I had a 25% chance of surviving 5 years, 10 years ago. Didn't worry about it too much. The chips seem to have fallen in my direction. Glad that cardboard isn't a distraction for the important things in life, such as Jonathan Winters on Youtube and blowing my sax like there's no tomorrow, which incidentally is the hope of my neighbors.

I got a silver coin in change yesterday. It isn't much but it made me smile.

My favorite post.

and that could not have happened to a more deserving individual...
also, made my nite recently when I came across one of adam's ebay listings & actually stopped to read the "fine print" therein.
not just a genuinely nice guy, but absolutely hilarious, too!

1. I will no longer read PWCC threads or view any PWCC infomercials. Classic fake news.

2. My son pitched for the first time this weekend which was awesome.

Great thread. Huge congratulations to the Cancer survivors here.

Yesterday we redecorated our daughter's bedroom, she just turned 3, and we got her a queen size bed, new comforter set, nightstand, etc. Was priceless seeing how much she loves her new bed/room.

My Grandson, Ron, is getting married this weekend. The wedding is on an Island 14 miles off the coast of Maine.

Monhegan Island




Here is a recent picture of Ron and I, when he graduated (Electronics Engineering degree) from the Univ. of Maine.





Great thread, Eric.

I have 2 young sons that are happy and healthy... that's the most important thing in my life.

I also start my new job next week. I'm starting out making almost double my current salary and the benefits are immensely better. I look at this as an opportunity to spend more time with my boys and using that extra money to fund adventures.

Just last week my youngest son Jonathan was accepted to McGill University in medicine.....Life is good

Awsome! My pride and joy is celebrating 5 years post chemo this weekend. She survived bone cancer and is keeping her promise to one day dance with me at her wedding. She took a quick trip to Hawaii to celebrate life and sent me this picture yesterday. Her smile speaks a million words and everyone of them melts her father's heart.

That's fantastic! Wishing her good health and happiness!

My wife and I are fanatic WNBA fans and the WNBA season opens this week (Go Sparks!). Here is a picture of me with one of the Sparks’ stars, 2016 league MVP and fellow Stanford alum, Nneka Ogwumike.

One more positive from me-
I got my private pilot license in September and am really enjoying the friendly skies. Have landed at over 20 different airports in Iowa so far. Flying a Cessna 172 and shortly will be working towards my Cirrus endorsement.
Bottom line is this- Cycling+Aviation+Cardboard= too many hobbies but I love all three. What’s a guy to do?

WOW, flying a plane as a hobby, that is super cool.

We picked up a new hobby we have not been able to try yet because of the weather. Not sure if we will like it so I bought a older used travel trailer and pickup.

My positive note is that I'm new to vintage cards and I appreciate the wealth of T206 information on Net54 and various other websites that you all have provided!

Primarily a Kirby Puckett collector (2,000+), I randomly started reading up on T206 cards at the start of 2019 and I find it all very fascinating. I'm up to a grand total of twelve T206's now with the addition of this Milan Polar Bear that arrived from Luke yesterday via the B/S/T board.

Eric, I have no intentions of ever flying a plane myself, and I don't ride my bike on gravel, but I did ride from my house in Coralville, to and from a Cedar Rapids Kernels game last week. Iowa, biking and baseball!

Just finished my sophomore year of college (seems like I am on the younger side here).

Glad to have you in the hobby!!! I hope that your college years are awesome (as were mine for the most part) and that you knock it out of the park employment-wise later. I hope that you and others your age take over and carry on this hobby for all of us old geezers, lol.

That's awesome!!! Back in 1988, I underwent an autologous bone marrow transplant for non-hodgkins lymphoma. At that point it was stage 4 and I was given 1/2 of 1% chance of surviving. I was in a coma for 3 months and was given my last rites 3 times. I've been cancer free for 31 years (just celebrated my 45th birthday) and am thankful every minute of every day for my wife and kids.

Wow Greg. Thanks for sharing. That really puts things in perspective. What a journey for you!

We had something massive happen to us about a week ago. We welcomed baby #2 into our world ... a mere 16 1/2 years after our first!

The delivery was extremely worrisome (we are no spring chickens here at 38 and 39). We were one traffic jam away from daddy delivering Beckett in the car! I was quite nervous about the whole situation, but God is good and we are all lovestruck

Allow me to introduce you all to Beckett Clark Theophilus Jones!
Clark was my dad's middle name who passed away a little over 7 months ago - the last time we saw him as a family, we were able to tell him and my mom we were pregnant. They were the first ones to find out! We have had a number of crying episodes because he wasn't able to meet him this side of heaven. I'm so happy/thankful Atticus knew my dad well so he can tell Beckett how amazing of a "papa bear" he was.

Theophilus is the name Luke from the Bible addressed the Gospel of Luke and Acts to. It means friend/lover of God.

So, without further adieu, here are some pics!
