losing roomrates

Today I got my 4th room mate. This one is an older lady. I am so glad to have a woman in the room with me.

The old guy Mn. Fork that shared a room with me told me today that he had Triple-bypass surgery and other stuff. He got to go home. -- He was a nice man though, he showed me a picture while he was waiting to be released of his family, when he was a kid. Taken in 1938. There were a bunch of children in the picture so I asked who they all were. He said they were all his brothers and sisters. In shock, I asked.. ALL. Then I asked how many Brothers and sisters he had... He said 23. I asked All 1 mother... and he told me know and he said this is my father and his first wife had this many kids she is there. My mom was the 2nd wife and she had 8 kids.. and so forth. I had never met anyone from a polygamist family over here before but I guess they are around.

Gangster guy came by today. He was moved to another floor earlier this week. He was walking and looking well. He was stabbed with a punctured lung and he gets to go home today. I thought it was really nice of him to come by and say good by though. He looked so happy to be getting out of here.

I think it is me and the old lady till Monday. I'm going to race her to see who gets to leave first!
Until then, it is me and my computer, my books and all the wonderful visits from friends. Thank you for everything you do.
