Belated Thanks to Sean, Good Dog Nigel, the Estate and all of you Nutopians

I just wanted to check in, as I've been away from the forum for several months and this is the first chance I've had to log in. During that time I've been dealing with some health issues and a house sale/move to a new house (made more difficult as a result of the health issues). But I am happy to be settling in and hope to be able to spend more time here on the forum.

Some of you know that, prior to all of that, I managed be the first to successfully solve the word game that was part of the Mind Games release. What I didn't get the chance to reveal to all of you Nutopians at the time is that after I solved the puzzle, Sean was in touch and sent an incredibly generous gift of the Super Deluxe edition of Mind Games. Better late than never, I just wanted to publicly thank @Sean, @Good Dog Nigel and all of their team for the wonderful gift. The amount of love put into that set is remarkable. Of course all of the music is sublime, but all of the details -- the secret black light clues, the reproductions of John and Yoko's art pieces, the beautiful informative book, the maps of Liverpool and Tokyo, the zoetropes, the I-Ching set, the Nutopian stamp, flag & plaque -- it's all such a moving tribute to this era of John & Yoko's lives and work. This set has already brought me such joy during a challenging time and it will provide years of discovery. I'm sure I will never unlock all of its secrets, but I am certainly going to try.

I've already prepared a special place for the box in the music room of my new home, the "You Are Here" artwork is already hanging from my wall and the plaque is up in the newest branch of the Nutopian Embassy. I smile every time that I walk by the Danger Box.

Again, Sean and Simon -- thank you from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful gift. I am so truly grateful. Sorry it has taken me so long to properly express my appreciation. You'll never fully know how meaningful it was, and is, to me. And thank you for this website and forum. I've "met" so many terrific people here. It's such a nice place to be able to come and be a part of a community of people from around the world who believe in the power of love and music and hope for peace. It's good to be back.

Incredible, absolutely incredible. So glad you received such a wonderful gift - and you deserved it, that puzzle can stump the biggest cryptic experts around! I genuinely think the super deluxe set is one of the most stunning pieces of artwork (yes, artwork!) that has been released under the name of anything Beatles-related, so it's fantastic that you are able to cherish it and own it yourself. It's so clear so much love and so much effort went into it. It deserves that special place in the music room!

I'm glad you're back around on the forums, Craig, and it's so wonderful to see the magic of Yoko and John's art and music still working its way into people's hearts here. The new Power to the People 'era' looks to be a fantastic new chapter for the Ultimate series, and it's great to have a place like this to truly enjoy that.

I'm still overwhelmed by it all. So excited to see what's ahead in the Power To The People era! Like I said, and I truly mean -- it's good to be back here.
