thanks; doing everything was a blast; neither of us could've possibly enjoyed ourselves more!! the cane is the real deal, the same cane, from the same company that supplies all of house's canes for the show. it also happens to be the company from which i order my own canes, so when i saw the flame cane, koda just had to have it! it's available right here (http://www.fashionablecanes.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=Dr-Gregory-House-Walking-Canes).
