Also, I'm glad you don't plan to "dump" Sam. :)
He sounds like Good People.
Which reminds me of this song I keep revisiting:
All of the people who care about you, and
all of the people that you care for too well,
let's wrap 'em in a big pink blanket
and stick them to yourself with glue.
This much I know, you mustn't let them go.
This much is true, sun shines when I'm with you.
Found via a cat video!
Great tune!!!!
