This was long overdue. The engine and everything that controlled the previous version of Welcome to Sam Spritzer’s Web Site was outdated. Any upgrades and changes that I wanted to make wouldn’t work. Things like the dropdown boxes, the contact form, quick cosmetic changes were lacking. And of course, there were changes to my life. So why not the web site?

Over the next couple of weeks, I’ll be slowly bring over some more stuff from the other web site such as the running pages. I’ll probably add more links especially those that may be related to cochlear implants. So, please have patience and bear with me. In the meanwhile, if you catch a bug please click on Contact above and drop me a note.

Looking forward to serving you better!
Sam

I am thankful for my good health and that of my family. I am thankful for my new ears and the opportunity to hear like I’ve never heard before. I am thankful for my job and the wonderful people I work for and with. I am thankful for a injury-free, ever improving running season. I am thankful for my sanity. I am thankful for my extended family on Hearing Journey especially Jen, Abbie, Mike, Gloria, Kim, Queen Evelyn and all of those who have endured the trials and tribulations of their new ears, also known as cochlear implants. I am thankful to all of my fans, friends and every person who has played a role and part in my life. And lastly, I am thankful for my family…Steph, Mike, Dan, Mom, Ellen, Tom, Vamoose, Josh, Julie, Milt, and their families.

To everyone…please do have a happy healthy and wonderful Thanksgiving!

Please do leave a comment wishing him a wonderfully happy birthday!

Monday night, we picked up the new car…a 2008 Honda Accord EX-L, Polish Metal Metallic with a Gray interior.

Many of you who know us, this is the 2nd Accord we’ve had. The first one was a 1991 LX in Rose Silver with a Burgundy interior. That car became Mike’s first car before he finally sold it to a friend who drove it a couple of more years until it finally died. Now I am itching to get one…black on black. Too bad they don’t make it green on green. That would go just lovely with my Checkers jacket.

Di…you need to share your “little” chocolate bunny with everyone who didn’t get one!! Congrats on your age group 1st place! Have a Pinot on me!

And to everyone else…especially Steph, Mike and family downstate…HAPPY EASTER!!! Me and Dan are having a blast this weekend!

As you notice, it is now March 8th. Spring is less than 2 weeks away. I really would love to wise-crack but I think my mother would take me too seriously and wonder if (1) there is something wrong with me, (2) someone kidnapped me and took over the world famous Welcome to Sam Spritzer’s Web Site, (3) she truly understands my warped sense of humor (which my sister hated most of the time) OR (4) I have succumbed to Buffalo’s version of cabin fever. Me? Nahhhh….check this out.

Can someone please tell me what is wrong with this picture???? (P.S. It’s Steph washing her car…something she has been doing long before I knew her….which was like 1977 or sometime around then)

And today, March 8 2008…this is the outside of the house during a lull in the snowstorm we are currently having…

Ok…back to the video….

Further explanation isn’t really needed except the 2 look-alikes are my cousins, Jeffrey and Neal. And if cousin Kenny is reading this, get well soon and fast! We, along with my sister Ellen, grew up together as kids on the same street, in Albany.

Yours truly with cousins Jeffrey and Neal, circa 1959

You probably don’t know this but you are as cute as you were…when you were born! Happy birthday! Love, mom dad Mike and Vamoose
