It’s thanksgiving day.. . .. it’s also the day that Sam gave four of his organs to save 4 people’s lives. If, g-d forbid, it ever happens that you are in a position to be an organ donor, the most important factor in making that gift is that your loved ones know your wishes. There’s no better way than to pass on the love than to tell you family how you feel about organ donation. Please have that conversation with your loved ones now.. do it in honor of Sam and all the millions of folks who have given the ultimate gift.<\/p>\n

That what was on my mind today….\u00a0 Of course it was also thanksgiving.. i have much to be thankful for.. i love my family and friends.. and where I live.. and\u00a0 i enjoy my work.. I am grateful for what I have and what I’ve had.. . and I say that in the middle of recognizing sams passing..\u00a0 I hope that everyone reading this has a chance ot reflect on their own blessings..\u00a0 we are all lucky to be alive and thinking.<\/p>\n

I managed to dodge out of helping with the prep for thanksgiving because I volunteered to go fetch Hannah, Matt and Olivier from Montreal.. I got up there in time to have a nice long lunch with my buddy George..<\/p>\n

his office has a great view of the city.. <\/center>\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I picked up hannah, matt and oliver around 5L30 and we headed back to vermont.. traffic was bad so it took us 2 and a half hours.. we spent the time going through matts iphone songs trying to spell things with the first name of the artist.. In ‘THANKSGIVING DINNER”.. we listened to\u00a0 glitch mob Taylor swift, nirvana , Edith Piaf, notorious B>I>G ,\u00a0 gypsy kings, swollen members, daftpunk, iron maiden, etc.. We got back in tme for an ad0hoc celebration of kevin’s 21st bbirthday.. most of the gifts involved alcohol.. what kind of example are we setting ?<\/p>\n
