Today was really quiet and slow..not unpleasant..but I just couldn’t seem to get out of low gear.   Nothing much happened.. so nothing really to report today.. So.. instead i’ll tell you something that happened last week.  It’s a Samstones story. As most folks know, we make these small clay rocks with Sam’s name on it to give out to folks.  We ask them to place them in special places as a reminder of Sam’s wonderful spirit. Over the past three and a half years, these stones have found their way all over the planet.   Every week we hear from 2-3 folks who have either placed or found a Samstone somewhere. We put them on out map here.
   Last week I got a note from Luis who found a Samstone while visiting the Mayan ruin of Tulum on the Yucatan coast.

Tulum was a special place to Sam and to us.. Diane. Sam and I went there as his 8th grade trip..  .. that was just about 6 months before he died. It was a wonderful time.   While we were there, Sam had anecklace made with his name written in mayan glyphs.. He wore it all the rest of that year.. he was wearing it when he died.. Diane and I both wear copies of it eevy day now..  We have those glyphs cut on a rock in our back yard.. and Nate has them inked on his arm
