Where is Dr. Mike?

WHERE IS DR. MIKE? WE MISS HIM. HAVE NOT SEEN HIS BICYCLE FOR A FEW WEEKS. IT HAS BEEN ABOUT A YEAR SINCE HE BECAME A REGULAR. MAYBE HE JUST COULD NOT TAKE ANY MORE. THERE IS NOTHING IN HIS MEDICAL BOOKS TO EXPLAIN US. WILL BE LOOKING FOR THE BICYCLE NEXT WEEKEND.

Charlie's Back!

This morning's group was happily surprised from a visit by Charlie and Patty. Charlie is navigating around with a walker and even got a few zingers off at Don. Everyone was zinging Don this morning, probably because he is headed off to Florida next week and we won't have that pleasure for awhile.

I think I need to start digital recordings to capture the conversation at Sam's. I can't quite get the ebb and flow of the witticisms with the little memory I have left. Anyway, Alicia stated that she felt better after her coffee this morning, and Pat pointed out that laughter is great for the immune system. So thanks for my immunity boost everyone!

Monday Night is Pizza Night

Hi everyone,
If you purchase pizza at the Route 40 Pizza Hut this Monday (November 12th), a portion of the proceeds will benefit Jeff's son's Boy Scout Troop.

Also on Monday, Golden Corral is offering a free buffet dinner to any veteran from 5 to 9 pm. There is a Golden Corral at Arundel Mills adjacent to the mall.

Happy Veteran's Day to all!

Don S. is Looking for this Mirror


Don wants help finding this mirror. Does anyone know which Home Depot sells it?

Good News

Jim at Altuan Ha

Hi everyone,

I am very happy to report that Charlie is back home after stays at St. Agnes and Union Memorial Hospitals. He would enjoy visitors, just call ahead and make sure that it is a good time to stop by. I tried to visit him at Johns Hopkins, but he wasn't there! The fluid on his lung appears to be cardiac-related. They put stents in his artery (arteries?) to increase blood flow.....let's hope this is does the trick! Continue to feel better, Charlie, and come back to Sam's soon. Everyone has missed you.


My dear friend Jim came through his surgery at Hopkins beautifully. He had a tumor and two lobes of his right lung removed on Tuesday. He is already well enough to be walking, eating meals, and be "tubeless". He will probably come home tomorrow, and that seems like a miracle to me! Thanks for all of your prayers, I am positive they helped ! Jim has done an excellent job of using a blog to keep friends and family informed of his progress.
