Very cool!  I'll have to watch it.

Did you meet David Duchovny?

I did... and not just on camera. Nice guy. Actually, everyone on the show was quite enjoyable to be around. Nobody was phony... far from it.

Yeah... bald, goatee, red shirt, goofy smile.  That would be me.

I have seen the show.
I am not a soap guy, but I was really moved by this show.
Maybe the fact that I knew one of the heroes made me more sensitive, but I really liked it.

Congratulations Tom, you are a great man!

Wow, Tom, that was great! Truly inspired to go out and get on the donor list now.

Did I miss something where she said yellow was her favorite color? I thought the color choices were a bit odd - but nice and bright I guess.

How was your trip to Disney?

Definitely intense. Way to go Tom! I was thinking the same about the yellow on the house, very bright.

I watched it last night (DVR).  That was a VERY great thing you did.
Congrats on having a 'major' part of this make over!

Always nice to see people do this type of stuff.  Better to see someone that we can relate to in a professional aspect as well!

We are all human!   ;)

Thanks, everyone, for the kudos... and thanks for watching the show! I really wanted to get the word out about the bone marrow donor program and how easy it was to register (and donate); this was an opportunity to reach millions, and I was thrilled to have been a part of it all.  =)

Also, the question on that particular choice of yellow seems to be pervasive - not just here. I dunno, honestly. I haven't braved up enough to ask Joey if she's happy with the color choice or not.  O_o

As for the Disney trip, we haven't taken it yet. The kids are way ecstatic, but I'm just concerned about the "next" trip; there's no way I'll be able to top the Disney vacation. "Daddy, where we going next year? Greece? Italy?"  ???

Very cool, man. Enjoy that trip! I'm hoping to get one planned for next spring/summer :)

Tom,

I just got to see it (dvr, but been working too many hours to do anything). WOW. Way Way cool.

I'm going to have to find where to register around here now.
