    I have two excellent tickets for tomorrow night's game vs. Atlanta. Unfortunately, I won't be able to go, as I hurt my back pretty badly at work earlier this week... and, needless to say, I won't quite be able to sit in one of those arena seats for approximately three hours.

    Anyways, before going any other route to sell the tickets, I figured I'd check here. That way, not only will the tickets not go unused, but I can also donate some cash to MGB's cause as well.

    The tickets are for: Section 113, Row L, Seats 7 & 8. They have a "face value" of $170 each (and, no, I'm not expecting to get quite that much for them).

    Thanks!

    Crap, where's he at? I have a 22" lcd I'm not using! It's not the best, but it certainly works. If somebody that knows Michael, personally, wanted to swing by my house (near 52nd and Flavel) and pick it up, I'd be MORE than happy to kick-it-down!

    Thanks, but I got a new monitor. Turn out the puter was bad so my wife returned it to costco and I ordered it again online and this one worked fine.

    Thanks again!

    Has anyone heard from MGB lately? I have sent him e-mails and not gotten any response. I sure hope he is hanging in there.

    I'm ok. I meant to respond to your email, but I got interrupted. That happens a lot here. Then I spaced it.

    I want to meet MGB because I want to personally deliver the $500. Hopefully, I can contact him...

    Good to hear you got out to see him. Still a huge hill to climb, but easier when others are there for support.

    That's awesome Mags! He is really a good guy and a die hard Blazer fan! Thanks for getting out there to see him. What was his reaction to the money you have raised for him?

    I wasn't really looking for a reaction. Just trying to help a friend. But he was very thankful.

    Mags I found the link to that BBQ I was telling you about with the pic of when Roy came over and sat down next to me.

    http://www.basketballforum.com/portland-trail-blazers/305448-sundays-blazer-bbq-lot-pics.html

    Read through that thread. Brought back a lot of memories. Didn't realize it was way back in 2006. I remember doing a search on this site a while back looking for the thread, no wonder I couldn't find it since it was on a different site.

    This is another STH bbq back in 2010.

    Today during therapy I stood 3 times, once for 10 secs and once for 15 secs. The third time I really struggled to stand up and didn't last as long. This doesn't sound like much, but it's the first time I've stood up since I fell a year ago last Jan.
