I think I asked Tom if her remembered anything from when he was "dead" and he said "No" NOTHING.
He laughed hysterically when Indiana Jones shot the sword welding villain in
Raiders of the Lost Ark. He and I went to see it soon after it came out after he had recuperated sufficiently from his stabbing. I had been very worried for him when that character pulled that sword.
I went to the same movie theater in the Summer of 1989 to see the third Indiana Jones movie while skipping out of the 1989 American Association of Law Libraries convention in Reno, Nevada a few weeks after I had graduated from Law School from the University of Minnesota. This brought back all kinds of memories especially those of Tom. Ran into two of my UNR Philosophy Professors during that trip.

He was quite the character often trying to get me in trouble but I would usually just pass on his offered trouble. He tried picking up a married woman with her husband close by in a bar not too far from a brothel. The married woman's husband knifed Tom six times in the back near the heart. Some of these were not all that deep, I gather. Some were.
Tom died from these wounds but was brought back after about six minutes by the paramedics. NOTHING but lucky.
The jury in the resulting attempted murder case found for the jealous husband and Tom lost his fluency in Spanish among other mental abilities.
Anyway, this history makes me very nervous around jealous boyfriends and especially around women who play their romantic rivals off against one another for kicks.
Tom was off chasing and catching a married woman the last I saw him after he asked me to leave when probably one of the most beautiful women I have ever met showed up at his doorstep and came in his apartment while I was checking up on how his recovery was going. I did notice that she had a wedding ring on and was not there for just friendly purposes.
According to my Reno based Facebook friends Tom is still the playboy.
