I know this sounds like fawning but I don't give a shit. Everytime I get a
public plaudit from Sue, it feels like I'm on an opioid -- without the bad side
effects. You and yours have a good holiday weekend too! Thanks!

I always get a kick out of Tom's posts. While they are often rambling in
nature (I think it's because he thinks faster than he can type), there is
always something to take from them if you know where to look. I have spoken to
Tom many times on the phone over the years and he is a very smart guy with all
kinds of info stored in the vast reaches of that brain of his. He is a loving
and doting father of a very creative son and he speaks so fondly of him every
time we talk, that is what has endeared me to him, not to mention he always
asks about my family and daughters when we speak and remembers things I have
told him in the past.
Dave Kusumoto is the same way, he just has his thoughts very anally
organized, just like me!! I love these two guys who, believe it or not, are
very similar in their thirst for knowledge and their use of that knowledge.
Both are very kind souls, and while it may "appear" that one is a crazy guy and
one is brilliant orator, I am glad to know both of them and consider them
friends.

Funny, but I think of Tom as a Spaulding Grey type (only more handsome), with
glowing all-knowing eyes, and the ability to talk a mile a minute.

Rick,
Good post. Tom Martin is a brilliant philosopher disguised as a confused
memorabilia dealer. Only certain people can see the enlightened being. To most
people, he is either invisible or he appears as a wacky clapboard salesman.
If anyone wants to criticize Tom, it is actually OK. Adversity only makes him
stronger. Strong wind creates strong trees.
I wish I knew what he looked like. I imagine he looks like a long-haired Peter
Fonda, but that's probably completely wrong.

On some days, I find more wisdom and knowledge in his writings (or, ramblings
if you prefer) than in all other posts on MoPo combined.
Who knows---possibly The Buddha is among us disguised as a movie poster
collector named Tom. You may think I'm joking, but stranger things have
happened on this planet. Keep posting, Tom. Maybe wherever you "are" is
actually something to strive for, not to ridicule.
