In March 2022 cancer stole my 18 year old son Milo from me, my wife Alana, and my older son Max. We eventually began compiling a list of Things Milo Loved. We have opened the document to many people who knew and loved Milo and it now includes more than a thousand items. We figured that we could share the spirit of this list with an even wider audience by using it as the basis for a podcast about Milo. The result is this podcast, Milo Time. On this podcast, my super-talented co-host Lisa Cohen and I highlight some of Milo's favorite things; those things help us all keep our amazing Milo in our hearts, on our minds, and on the tips of our tongues. Special thanks to the artistic genius Lacie Foreht for the remarkable graphic cover art.

Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is a holiday we loved as a family, Family tradition of hosting Thanksgiving in our home, every year from 2001 to 2021, Food shopping the day before Thanksgiving, With the boys the evening before Thanksgiving, Begin cooking the night before Thanksgiving, Stuffing, Cornbread, Pumpkin Pie, Turkey, Brisket, Guests included a combination of Gordon, Katie, Zach, Noah, Marc, Alicia, Scott, Jared, Daryl's parents, and Alana's parents, Thanksgiving dishes, Apple cider from the Jericho Cider Mill, Alana and I always took a moment to note how lucky we were, Thanksgiving is the headline holiday of the year, What are you doing about Thanksgiving?, Insight into our new world, Do we continue with the previous tradition? Do we start a new tradition? Do we ignore the holiday entirely? What are we trying to accomplish here? Are we trying to generate happy memories and treat Milo's absence as isolateable? Is a new tradition a betrayal of Milo? What message are we sending with our actions? Daryl's brother noting that not celebrating Thanksgiving with our family is sad for his family too, Heartbreaking for our parents to not be celebrating with their immediate family, We acknowledge we still have lots to be thankful for, We feel very aggrieved in a very particular way, We do not plan into the future, Emptiness generated by Milo's death still at the forefront, We are tremendously grateful to the community that has supported and loved us over the past year, Wishing everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving, Joel Barkow, Pass the Poi "Milo", Jared Fontaine, The Idea of Machines, Sweet Lefty, Listen to the end of Pass the Poi's Milo
