I don't know how a thread like this from 2011 gets resurrected, but even though it's a cheesy song, I'm always happy to see that particular edition of OSM.

A couple of personal perspective points to add:

I cried when we got our "one before the grave" in 2003.  I also cried when I got to see my favorite band ever (The Who) live and up close at a soundcheck due to some VIP tickets.  My wife often points out that I did not cry at our wedding.

A certain Saint Joyce said she could get me a ticket to the game in New Orleans in '03, but I somehow convinced myself that I was unable to go.  Looking back on it now, I am stupefied that I ever could have made that decision.  I was in a totally different place in life then--striving to make partner, facing the pressure of a big work event coming up, and all sorts of other excuses.  But come on.  Holy  regrets, Batman.

Most of all:  Here's to you all over again, CTO, for your incredible generosity campaign to so many of us.  You got a townie boy who usually sat in the Bob Uecker seats to the Spike Lee position in 2006.  You sent me a rosary blessed by the Pope when my wife was in the hospital with a serious heart illness.  You've changed the lives of many others.  You're a true immortal in this big, sprawling, and frequently crazy community.  Thank you, on behalf of all of us.
