I went to school with old man Landi's nephew. We used to run to the Bronx for him and pick up his supplies at the warehouse. We got paid with wedges!!!! It was funny to watch him make them. The same knife went from the mayo to the mustard and back and was never cleaned off in between. Man do I miss those wedges!!!!!!

Hey Chris, My thoughts and prayers are with you buddy!!! Based on what I've read, sounds like you're one tough cookie. Bet this surgery will just be a bump in the road that won't even slow you down. If you're ever going to be in the Norwalk,CT area, stop by any firehouse. We'd be happy to show you around. Good luck!
