·        Penguin Swim:  Thanks to everyone who has donated to the RR44 Penguin Swim Team and/or purchased raffle tickets.   Your support, especially in this weird year of COVID-19 and all of its frustrating restrictions, is greatly appreciated.  With just 2 weeks left before the Swim, the Team is still hoping to reach our goal of raising $5,000 for this worthy cause.  For those who have not yet purchased a raffle ticket, we still have a few available, but they are going fast.  And they make great stocking stuffers for the Holidays!  Please contact me for tickets, or go to "www.aghpenguinswim.org" to make a donation.  Thanks for your help, stay safe, and have a very Merry Christmas!

Funny Poop

·        Hospital regulations require a wheelchair for patients being discharged.  However, while working as a student nurse, I found one elderly gentleman already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet, who insisted he didn't need my help to leave the hospital.

After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me wheel him to the elevator.

On the way down I asked him if his wife was meeting him.

'I don't know,' he said.  'She's still upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her hospital gown.'

 

Etcetera

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
