Sam: April 2005 Archives

I feel like I've missed a report or several.

Ana Elisa, Sam really wants to hear from all of you! Mangeca, what's up lately? Cheryl, Sam wanted you to know that both he and Bill are glad you're back (from your trip in March). Jennifer, no, Sam didn't wear his bunny ears for Easter this year. :-(

Well. Sam and I didn't talk too much today. We were busy fiddling with the internet connection and laptop. It's not quite functional yet, but hopefully by tomorrow morning Sam will be able to be online with his own email account and a CAMERA so that he and I (and anyone else who has "ichat" or equivalent?) can talk and see each other by live action video.

Only saw Sam for a few minutes today - he was on his way to Walmart. Looked all chipper, too. :-)

I talked with both Penny and Karen about doing laptop stuff with Sam this summer as an official "activity". And asked Betty about finding out which nurses and aides use computers at home, so we can figure out who else might be able to help Sam get online.

Jennifer sends along this quote:

"The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is that one comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won't."
-- Henry Ward Beecher

# 184 in the section on "practical morality" in In pursuit of virtue: Al-Akhlâq wa’l-Siyar (Morals and Behaviour) By Ibn Hazm al-Andalusi describes these in a bit more detail.
