I dare you to watch the video below and not smile and cry. Because then you would have watched this video and everyone needs to watch this video. I cried, big tears, and smiled, a big smile. There’s a good chance (100%) I teared up again just writing this post.

Two Trainings, A Presser & The Roadkill On Sergio’s Head

Thursday Training, Audi Delivers & A Good Deed

Hope all American watishistas are having a wonderful Thanksgiving. I’ve been up since it was barely light out cooking like a fiend. One Thanksgiving dinner down and casseroles in the oven baking as I head off to another one! I’m so thankful today for family, friends, the good life I have and all you wonderful people – you make every day better.

What A Lovely Gesture!

A Japanese fan sent El Pirata a Senbazuru  (1,000 paper cranes). The senbazuru given as a gift symbolizes a wish for good luck or a quick recovery from an illness/injury among other things. He posted a picture of them on Twitter. Animo Pirata!

(I’m sure some of our Japanese watishistas could do a better job than I did of explaining the tradition, so please feel free to in the comment section!)

I’m signed up to be an organ donor myself. I like the thought that once I shuffle off this mortal coil, I’ll be able to help someone continue on. You can see in the video how important it is to the recipients and their families. The fact that they were able to wipe out some of the waiting lists is amazing.
