Sam: September 2005 Archives

Sam was finally off antibiotics today so we had a bit of a strong red wine from Spain. David and I regaled him with stories about teaching; Sam wants to crash my class at UNH. We responded to a few messages and read a few jokes. Elektra (a new nurse) came in with his evening meds but prudently decided not to spoil his glass of wine. :-) Thanks to everyone for sending news. Sam says to you all, "Take care!" (Sam especially enjoyed the Indiana jokes from Ruth.)

Oh (how could I nearly forget?!) - who knows the codename
"Ms Mary Sunshine"? There are a few persons at Eden who aren't high on Sam's list . . .

Sam feels badly that so many of you write to him and he often doesn't have the energy to respond. It sure does make his day though - big grins for sure. :-) Wes recently sent an update on a whole bunch of old pals - brought back a lot of memories. These make Sam happy. He asked me today if I could believe he's been here in Eden Park for four years. Says it feels like the time has gone by fast. I figure that's good, even though I do recall some times when I visited and the time felt interminable to him.

Sam especially enjoys saucy jokes and news about friends and family. He's been on anti-biotics off and on for ages, so we haven't been able to indulge together, but did take some time to fill in Raz on the parties that used to occur at the house in Putney (not to mention those that occasionally happen here!)
