Any kind words I have won't compare to this awesome gesture. Wow.
You have left me stunned tonight.

That is an awesome and inspiring gesture!
That's a lovely thing to do. Well done!
Wow... Paying it forward. What a kind and generous thing to do. Nice one, mate...
Very cool. It's reading posts like that which make me proud to be a member of this site.
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
I very much appreciate everyone's kind remarks and comments. One thing I wanted to add, that is important, is although the random act of kindness my family and I endured at the ice cream shop was a wonderful surprise, I was also motivated by this forum. I haven't been a member for very long and am amazed by the warm welcome, the kind folks such as yourselves. The fun conversations, informative conversations, and yes even the crazier ones. In a short time many of you have already surprised me with acts of kindness from actual books (the rebound Firestarter, Eyes of the Dragon, and many others) to inclusion for feedback on projects, and other things outside of the forum. Seriously, from words of caution on certain editions I was pursuing and potential legitimacy issues or high cost concerns. This group really has each other's backs. You name it, this is truly a great bunch. It would be a long list if I named out everyone that has helped me in some way. So, I will just say: I'm grateful to all of you!

I also got a few more prints back from the framer and need to get them hung up soon, redoing the office walls a bit. Probably next week.

That's a HELL of a nice layout.
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.

Shame on me, but I wasn't even aware of the Joe Hill broadside.

By the Silver Water of Lake Champlain was the short story used for the broadside. Joe Hill's dedication if you will to Ray Bradbury. I can't recall which anthology this short story was published in.

Thanks everyone, for the nice compliments!
Now when working in my office and I feel frustrated with something or start to get lazy, I can look up and see Roland. He'd probably scold me, "those who get frustrated or lazy with work have forgotten the face of their father" then back to work I go realizing, it's not all that bad.
