The trip as of this morning is open to both Roost members and non-Roost members.  Due to having to purchase the game day tickets, and reserve the rooms in a short order of time, I will need everyone’s deposit (non-refundable) by this Friday-May 16th.  Please make your checks out to Ravens Roost #44 in the amount of $150 (per person) and mail them to me, Mike Grimes, at 108 South Ocean DriveOcean CityMD 21842 or drop your check off at my residence.  You can reach me on my cell at 410.251.6821 to make an appointment to see me.

The present Glenn Miller Orchestra was formed in 1956 and has been touring consistently since, playing an average of 300 live dates a year all around the world. 

Funny Poop 
  • How can you tell there's a blind man in a nudist colony? It isn't hard! 
  • The room was full of pregnant women and their partners, and the Lamaze class was in full swing. The instructor was teaching the women how to breathe properly, along with informing the men how to give the necessary assurances at this stage of the plan. The teacher then announced, "Ladies, exercise is GOOD for you! Walking is especially beneficial. And, Gentlemen, it wouldn't hurt YOU to take the time to go walking with your partner!" The room really got quiet. Finally, a man in the middle of the group raised his hand. "Yes?" replied the teacher. "Is it all right if she carries a golf bag while we walk?" 

Etcetera 


Frank 

 Baltimore Ravens, let’s go 
And put that ball across the line 
So fly with talons spread wide 
Go in and strike with Ravens pride 
Fight! Fight! Fight! 
Ravens dark wings take flight 
Dive in and show them your might 
For Baltimore and Maryland 
You will fly on to victory
