I’m sorry but try as I might, I can’t find a USB cable to download my pictures for the day.  I gave up looking.. since it’s no 1AM.. and my first meeting tomorrow starts at 7L30 (ugh)..  It’s in keeping with the general tone of the day.. I didn’t  have a moment to sit down from 8AM until 11PM. My work day was back to back phone meetings.. most more interesting than average… My last meeting ended at 6.. then I had to leave to do a show at Champlain college for the Governor’s institute camp ofr media students. I ran into work, grabeed my gear then stopped by my firend Kim’s house.. Kim’s husband John was diagnosed with ALS in Janurary .. from that point he’s loast all mobility except fo rthe ability to move his left thumb. I’m goign to try and help John use the movement in his thumb to control his power bed.. and … hopefully.. his TV. I went over there to get an idea on how the bed controls work.. It was nice meeting John. I can’t imagine what that would be like to be trapped in your own body as you loose the ability to control your own muscles. John’s will is amazing .. I hope that I can figure out how to translate the mobilty he has into some degree of control for him… 
   I left John and Kims to go to Champlain to do my show for the GiV campers.. It was a great time .. I love that program.. I got back just around midnight..
  Man I’m sleepy.. and tomorrows goign to be busy. too.. I’ll sign off here.. hipefully I can get today’s pictures uploaded tomorrow..   Right now, I’m headign to bed, Gnite everyone.. Gnite Sam

ps.. found my cable.. here’s a picture of John and his family.. and the thumb he can move. I had an idea last night on how I may be able to help
