It’s easy to forget how late in the year it is right now. I just realized today that Thanksgiving is just over a month away. And in one of the most bizarre train of thoughts I’ve ever experienced, I began thinking about Stephen Drew’s wife Laura Drew. Honestly, can you imagine what the Thanksgiving table will be like at the Drew household? Both JD and Stephen experienced ups and downs during their time in Boston,…
