Praise
Enjoy the Ride is an extraordinary book, a wonderful book, a REAL book. I loved it and Uncle Sammy....laughter. It needs to be widely read! 
Ram Dass, author of "Be Here Now"
Sandia Siegel’s book is a moving portrait of a unique human being, her Uncle Sammy. He is a treasure trove of love, wisdom and humor. I highly recommend that you read this book and get to know him...
You will laugh, and maybe cry,
and end up a lot wiser and maybe,
in the very best sense of the word,
a little crazier. As Sammy says,
“I have a big responsibility
to have fun.
Life is a heaven of dreams,
fix it up and keep it going.”
We all need Uncle Sammy in our lives.
Wes ‘Scoop’ Nisker,
Author of Essential Crazy Wisdom

Enjoy the Ride is an illuminating book. Reading this book was an “outside the box” experience. It encouraged us to go deeper and see dementia and our Elders in a fresh way.
Sandia conveys the story with love and delight. We wish everyone could have an Uncle Sammy.

A MUST READ FOR ANYONE WHO KNOWS ANYONE WHO IS GOING TO DIE....SELF INCLUDED!
A gentle humorous attitude adjustment towards life and death. Sandia Siegel's book tickles the reader into submission, or perhaps some revealing admissions, regarding previously unconscious attitudes.
Uncle Sammy's unbridled passion for fun and joy ,emerges through conditions we have labeled in the negative. Dementia et al. are diagnosis and labels that immediately draw our attention towards what is missing rather than what is present.
This book invites us to break open these labels and our conditioned perceptions to reveal what is ever present...the radiance of Being, all beings, however they may be wrapped. As if that weren't enough, the innate delight of every moment is revealed through Uncle Sammy's delicious banter.
" I have absolutely no time not to fool around." So, get to it readers!
