Nice to hear from you. I forget, what transplant did you have? Congrats on going to the games. I have only been once to Minneapolis. I really want to try to get to Australia or next time in the states. We should try to get together for lunch or something. Where are you living? I am in Pasadena. My organs are doing quite well!!!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
