Visit from Merf

Went to see Trapper today... Monday 1 Sept, Labor Day. Arrived about noon and found him dozing but in discomfort. Brought him a copy of Spinsheet, and Chesapeake Bay. Also thought he would enjoy the latest MAD with Alfred E O'Bama on the cover holding a banner "Yes We Can't!" Only MAD! Got a chuckle from him on that.

All said, he was pretty uncomfortable. A nurse came by with more pills but left to return later. Said she was constantly pestering him. Cant validate one way or the other but we chatted later and I am sure she is sincere and very caring.

So ITrap and I chatted for a bit.... mostly me. His main comment was "This is tough, man...tough". Surely is and tough to watch this great guy have to endure it. `

He was really tired and wanted to try to sleep so I left... passing on all the regards, hopes and love of the EYC folks and others.
