it's been far too long and I'm far too busy, but here goes another attempt at redemption

Greetings from another time ... or, how we all learned a valuable lesson

Nearly a month ago, I was back in Pittsburgh for a wedding. Above is a picture of the entire cast of friends after the reception was finished. I'm the bald guy towards the back.

My friends Greg and Corrie were, however, the second-best story on the day. The real story was Greg's brother Jeff — Greg's best man. In between the wedding and the reception word came in that Jeff, who had been on the liver transplant list for only a few days, had a new liver ready.

Needless to say, the wedding took a rather dramatic change from there.

If you'd like to see the video, check out the video or the story.

After the last 10 years of my life of not being an organ donor (not because I have a problem with it, but because I just never really did it), this has change my entire spectrum.

Upon renewal of my license, I most certainly will be an organ donor.

In case you were wondering ... but I'm almost certain that you are not
