Thank you Kelly, and thank you all for the kind thoughts and well wishes. I'm doing much better and off the oxygen, but unfortunately haven't had a cocktail in over three weeks! We really missed being at Tiki Oasis this year, but we can't wait to get back to the Rumpus Room, Tonga Hut and beyond. Those who have seen me, tell me I look skinny, but I'm sure I'll pack those pounds on soon. :)

I didn't see this post until after Oasis, and didn't even know you were in the hospital until I asked Krisdrama at Tiki Oasis "So when are Tom and Sherri getting here?" and being told that you were totally sidelined with phenomena! Like crazy man! Hope you're on the mend! When will we be seeing you two out at Tiki events again? I don't think we can hold out much longer... we miss you guys!!! High Times Chili Cook Off? Tiki Hightway at Don's? Rum Rhum at Tonga Hut? (those are all THIS Sunday... please make one!... no pressure, though... ) no, really, make one... Tonga Hut... No, I mean only if you feel you can make it... you better be there... Um, only if you can... Ahhh! I'm torn between what's best fer you and what's best fer us!!! No, really, only if yer up for it... Hey, maybe we can all come visit you at home? (Yer not contagious, are you?!?) OK, far too much stream of consciousness (and rum) happening in this post... Really hope to see you soon, and back in top health!!! Lotsa love, Eric and Manuel (except Manuel isn't part of the mad ravings)

TT Tonga Tom Grand Member (1 year) 2 mi. south of the Hut Joined: Sep 24, 2009 Posts: 1194	TT Tonga Tom Posted posted on Sat, Aug 25, 2012 6:38 PM Actually, I haven't had any cocktails since Flaming Tiki's party. I know, hard to believe! BTD - Think I caught it from some random costumed sicko at Comic Con. I won't get down to OC tomorrow, but I might make it to TH for the Rum Rhum Club if Sherriyaki lets me out of the house. Don't think I'll be doing too much tasting, but I would like to go since I haven't missed one yet.

Didn't have to be on oxygen, but it kick GROG' ass in major way. Took a bit over a month to get over, and over a year to get all of GROG' strength back. Keep getting better, and GROG hope to see you soon at the Tonga Hut. (One of the medicines GROG had to take back then actually had a lot of alcohol in it!)

It was great to be back, and I can't wait to be at more events and just hangin' where I usually hang. It might have been worth it though, I received this AMAZING 8" x 10" card from Eric October. Also, THANK YOU to all my kind friends who signed and commented in it. It made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. :)
