Friday, 10Sep10, Eugene, OR, Lane Memorial Blood Bank
Blood fact: “If only 1 more percent of all Americans would give blood, blood shortages would disappear for the foreseeable future.”
Today I am in Stockton, CA, at Delta Blood Bank. It was an awesome day and we had a blast … especially last night at dinner with Annie and Lisbeth … I want to thank Dr. Spindler and all of his amazing staff who are daily helping to save lives! You are all AWESOME!
Also to thank Cat Country 93.0 FM for all they did today to promote the upcoming blood drives at Delta Blood Center.
After finishing the promotion in Stockton … I drove 520 miles up to Eugene, OR, while passing through Sacramento I called the hotel to make sure it was OK to come in late … they said “yes” and so I thought everything was OK … however, when I got there at 10:30 p.m., they had given the room away … and, it was a hassle to finally get a room … this is the first time on this trip that I’ve had a problem with a reservation and confirmation. Thank you to Eddie (the night manager) who did his best to straighten it out for me … at least I ended up with a room on the 2nd floor with no elevator. (Hmmm, I guess that confirms the saying “opposition in all things”?)
Well, this is the land of the “DUCKS” the Oregon Ducks that is … so it’s a big party place with lots of college kids yelling and screaming for their favorite team!
Tomorrow is going to be a busy day … hopefully I can get a couple of hours of sleep?
