Sooooo. you probably knwo that I travel quite a bit.. you may also know thta I have a repution for haivng a loose grasp of passing time.. Know that,\u00a0 it may surprise you to hear that i’ve never missed a flight due to my own actions..\u00a0

that is. until today. I checked in for my flight on my way to tSan Fran.. and thoguht I heard that I was taking off at gate 3.. so I sat down abd started working,.\u00a0 \u00a0an hour and a half later, I realized that my plane.. or at least the plane at gate 3 had not boarded. it was then that I realized that my flight was actually at gate 8. .. which had left 15 min before

D-oh !

so I got on the phoen with united and found another way to get to my destination.. that involved an almost 5 hour delay.. I had time to kill so I\u00a0 walked back to BETA.. THere I realized that there was a blood drive. I managed to get a donation appointnment that would allow me to make myadjusted flight. .. so .. my penance for being a knuckle head.. was an unexpeccted blood donation..\u00a0

Blood donation is mportant to me now that diane and I can donate again.. the bar of donating if you lived in the UK was removed last year.. I think of Blood donation as bunong one of the few ways you can do an organ donation several times a year.. I do it because its a good thing to do.. nd also in honor of Sam
