- Roost Apparel: An order will be going to Red Sun for the 3 Raven's Head Flag Logo shirts after the next meeting on July 9th. These have been extremely popular and I know I get people asking me wherever I go, "Where did you get that shirt? Can I buy one?" Don't get left out and don't assume that there will be extras in your favorite color and size. The sweatshirt jackets can be ordered in black and grey and are $25. The long sleeved T's can be ordered in grey, black and purple and are $20. The short sleeved T's are $15 and can be ordered in just about every color imaginable, but black and purple are the ordered favorites so far. I've done some in pink (ladies but hey we aren't judging), red (Terps fan) and orange (Orioles fan) and they turned out really cute. I can also order children's sizes and of course they are less (but it depends on what size you are ordering). This is the second order of these and not sure there will be enough interest for a third, so if you want one (or more), are thinking about one for a gift for your family and friends, don't sit on this! You can place your order at the July 9 meeting (I have a few grey ones left so you can see the style and buy those) or email Maggie at millermaggie@mchsi.com. Don't be left out, get on the list for the order!
Football season will be upon us soon! Did your favorite player leave the team and now you don't have a jersey and spending another $100 bucks just isn't in the plan? How about a Roost 44 jersey? They cost $35 and you'll never be traded! See Maggie at the next meeting or email her at millermaggie@mchsi.com. Various sizes still available. Show your Roost pride at the stadium!
New to the Roost? Do you have a Turtle, Ox and Raven logo short sleeved T? We have a few left and they will be at the July meeting as well. Purple and grey available - cute logo $15.
Last but not least: new Roost members might like a purple Hawaiian shirt for $40! Taking orders for those and hope to place the order after the July 9th meeting. You'll see a bunch of them at the upcoming picnic, I'm sure. And those of your whose shirt has been "shrunken in the dryer"....you'll need a new one too so order one! Also Roost 44 golf shirts - yes the purple ones with the "slimming white side stripes" can be ordered anytime. They are $35 and come in both men's style and ladies v-neck collar style with a Roost logo on the left chest. An order for these will also be going in to Red Sun after the July 9th meeting.
Here's to being the best dressed Roost in Maryland! Go Ravens!

- Tonight - Melissa Etheridge & Blondie at Freeman Stage, Freeman Stage. In 1984, Etheridge caught a break when she was hired as a songwriter for A&M Records, giving the young musician the chance to write songs for B-movies. Etheridge’s career lept forward in 1986, when Island Records president Chris Blackwell heard her perform. He signed her a few days later. After an unreleased first effort, she completed her stripped down self-titled debut in just four days. Melissa Etheridge (1988) was an underground hit, and the single, “Bring Me Some Water,” was nominated for a Grammy. In 1989, Brave and Crazy was released and, failing to break the top of the charts, Etheridge went on the road. While the adoration continued with her third release, Never Enough (1992), it was Etheridge’s fourth record, Yes I Am (1993), which launched her into rock stardom. With ex-Police producer Hugh Padgham at the helm, the album produced two giant hits: “I’m the Only One” and the Grammy-winning “Come to My Window.”
Blondie is a punk and new wave band that formed in the 1970s. To celebrate the band’s 40th anniversary, Blondie released a double album, entitled “Blondie 4(0)-Ever: Greatest Hits: Deluxe Redux / Ghosts of Download,” in 2014. The band’s current line-up includes Debbie Harry, Chris Stein, Clem Burke, Leigh Foxx, Matt Katz-Bohen and Tommy Kessler. During the late 70s and early 80s, Blondie released three platinum albums including “Autoamerican” (1980), “Eat to the Beat” (1979), “Parallel Lines” (1978), and the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006. $35 – $125.

Funny Poop
- A husband and wife were having dinner at a very fine restaurant when this absolutely stunning young woman comes over to their table, gives the husband a big kiss, tells him she'll see him later, and walks away. His wife glares at him and says, 'Who was that??!!" "Oh," replies the husband, 'that was my mistress." The wife says, "That's it; I want a divorce." "I understand," replies her husband, "But, remember, if you get a divorce, there will be no more shopping trips to Paris, no wintering in the Caribbean, no Lexus in the garage, and no more country club. But the decision is yours." Just then the wife notices a mutual friend of theirs entering the restaurant with a gorgeous woman. 'Who's that woman with Jim?" she asks. "That's his mistress," replies her husband. "Ours is prettier," says the wife.
- A guy goes into the store and asks the clerk at the counter, "Can I have some Polish sausage?"
The clerk looks at him and says, "Are you Polish?"
The guy says, "Well, yes I am. If I had asked for Italian sausage, would you ask me if I was Italian? Or if I had asked for German sausage, would you asked me if I was German? Or if I had asked for a taco, would you ask me if I was Mexican?"
The clerk says, "Well, no."
The guy says, "Well, why do you ask me if I'm Polish just because I ask for a Polish sausage?"
The clerk says, "Because this is a hardware store."
Etcetera
