·8 weeks is a long haul in the hospital and rehab. Glad to hear you are on the upswing. I wish you the best in your continued recovery. What have you got on your wrist these days?

·Best of luck with your surgery Greg.
You are certainly one of the most compassionate and considerate OF members.
Examples:
You led the Go Fund initiative that raised over $10000 for Alex. That was all you.
You traveled to Detroit to make our 2023 GTG a success… and bought 2 or 3 pieces of expensive cake for a starving OF celebrity.
You regularly checked up on the status and well being on my mother in law, and sent me some very cool and useful Omega coffee mugs that are part of my daily routine.
Your recovery is already evident and I predict a 2026 Baltimore GTG.
Your Canadian friend.
Thanks so much for your very kind post. Given the chocolate cake photo, I had to find and include this classic photo at the G2G . . . good times!!!
Two shady looking attendees in a nearby parking garage standing in front of a cake loving OF member’s vintage Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. Would you buy a used watch from these guys!?!

··history nerdOh crikey, Greg - I had no idea what you went through.
As you say, events like yours can sometimes be a blessing in disguise. Glad to hear that you're on the mend and that your heart condition will be addressed.
Caroline and I don’t get to the Baltimore area as often as we used to, but we'll have to see if we can plan for 2026. Mad Dog's next cake overload is on me!
Thinking of you - take care!

··Home For Wayward WatchesI peeked back at your always excellent photographs of your always excellent watches to find a gap for the entire month of November. You posted a watch photo October 31st and the next one December 1st. You just slipped off the radar. There is more to members than digital photos of watches. It's one thing to make the choice to temper Forum participation and quite another to be waylaid by life into silence.
I have noticed the recent absence of our own Walrus.

·Greg,
I’m another one of the apparent many of us that just read about your stroke, your recovery journey and the upcoming surgery. My attendance here at OF tends to wax and wane like the phases of the moon, but your posts always have a warmth that shines through. Glad you’re back at it here at OF.
Wishing you well for the upcoming surgery - and for the upcoming GTG’s

·Hey Greg, thanks for sharing these thoughts. I was wondering how you were doing with your recovery, and I should have reached out to you sooner. I'm sad to hear that we won't be able to have a 2025 G2G, but I hope your surgery goes well and we can all get together again soon.
I've enjoyed this forum quite a lot, but the G2Gs have been the biggest highlight for me - you and the rest of the crew did an amazing job gathering us all to nerd out together, share stories, and discover watches that we didn't know we needed in our collections (I ended up splurging on an Airman because of everyone's bad influence on me at the last meetup 😀)
Thanks so much for all you've done for us. Wishing you the best as you continue to recover. And you too, @Aroxx
