Breaking Bread With Kanik

Kanik had a doctor's appointment last week to find out more about the clinical trial he's hoping to soon join.  He found out that the trial will not be open until October, which could be a blessing in disguise, since Dr. Abou Alfa would like Kanik to raise his protein levels before this trial begins.  So, Kanik is making a concerted effort to get more protein in his diet but also just eat more in general.  

So, to make this task easier for Kanik, some friends will be cooking meals for him and dropping them off at his apartment.  But it would also be helpful if others went out to eat with Kanik, just to make sure he eats well and, of course, to spend time with their favorite glass blower.  One thing to note: in order to consume enough food, Kanik will eat slowly.  So, it would be great if some of you could spend time with Kanik at a restaurant and keep him company, while he takes his time to have a great meal.  If you can do this, please call, email or text him to arrange that.  (If you need K's contact information, click here.)

We'll, of course, keep you posted on Kanik's next doctor's appointment (which is October 7th).  In the meantime, we hope you can break bread with Kanik.
