merry andrew is in the hospital

Yikes!

Scary stuff. I'm glad to hear that Merry is on the mend!

George,

Andy was greatly amused that you thought he sounded like he was gargling broken glass. He is one tough oldLatvian. He'll be 70 years old on December 26.

Ad Multos Annos!

Unfortunately I am in Hawaii Margo.

Friends have offered to loan me airfare which I declined. As it stands now Andy will probably be in the hospital Christamas and for his 70th birthday on December 26.

The doctor told me he can't travel for awhile. Jusr how long I don't know.

I am presently housesitting a farm house in Mt. View, HI indefinately which will be a great place for him to recuperate.

So I have to cancel plans for Kona over Christmas and save the money for when he does come over.

Thanks for your kind thoughts

Thank you for your sweet ditty.

You always come through with your wonderful sense of humor. I know MA will really appreciate the postings when he gets to read them.

love you and Merry Christmas

Seaglass

Andy will definately appreciate your sentiments since this is his second go-round with bowel surgery. At least he can't get to any cigarettes.

happy holidays

When he gets home to Hawaii I have to take him to the nude beach and show off his new scars. He loves the nude beach.

aloha

I just spoke with him. He sounds rough because of the catheter but he is not short of spirit.

Nothing like an all-over tan to highlight that scar tissue!

A funny for you Beth.

Andy said he was sort of grogging in his hospital suite and he said the PA system came on and he thought heard Bethie (----) is in the hospital looking for you. He later learned that it was someone with a similar name.

If anyone has a spare laptop floating around I know he would love to be able to acccess A2K otherwise

Lots of coffee ice cream when they get that thing out of his throat.

He can have company.

Thank you for your kindess Jespah.

ha! those powerful "thinking of you" vibes sometimes get expressed in odd ways ... like people with similar names

I like that.

I'm glad to hear the tube's out, and that recovery is commencing.

You are so wonderously bad as usual Lash.

It that like T.S. Eliot Lash? Tough **** Eliot?

Andy will appreciate your indifatible sense of humor. Now where is that gd spelling verfier?

Anytime Mr. Lightwizard.

That was one groovey restaurant you took us to.

happy holidays,

Seaglass

Not being sure of just which coffee ice cream Andy likes, I'm sending along several..

this one is vietnamese coffee ice cream (sounds good to me since I like vietnamese coffee a lot) - totally fattening though it is -




or this one, probably in a cup -




or some crema de caffe gelato --

Give him my regards.

OMG Osso,

Send them all, some for him and some for me.

Now where is that Gus Ratzyhoffen hiding?

Tried to phone him. Couldn't get connected, but had a very nice chat with a friendly receptionist, which was nearly as nice as talking with someone who is gargling broken glass.

So I just sent him an email via the hospital's website.

OK, Sglass! In this weather, they should be ok in regular mail..

Thanks Walter,

I am sure that Gus can cheer him up with some of his nonsense.

happy holidays to you my friend
