The missing piece

Dear Social Studies Teacher:

I'm so glad I spent a lot of time dealing with this country in my other life. I've been there several times and visited just about every provincial capital. I can tell you all sorts of things and can answer 90% of the questions on this assignment with my eyes closed and one hand behind my back.

However there is no way I can help Bubba identify weather patterns on Map B and C if said maps are not included with the rest of the worksheets.

I may have a pretty good memory for trivia, but no idea on weather maps.

Please send them home and Bubba will complete them tomorrow.

Sincerely yours,

RehabRN
Bubba's personal secretary (aka Mom)

The lost shall (again) be found

One of the characters came back today. Sometimes his memory's not so good, but he knows he's been here before.

Just turns out the nursing home sent him with a new driver who was clueless. The driver tried to take him to Washington instead of to us at the Hotel. Once he got on campus, he tried to take Mr. T to the wrong building.

The driver gets out and asks about the clinic. Yes, I tell him, he's ours. Bring him in. Dopey driver brings him in, then I take him where he needs to go.

Mr. T. looks much different than the last time I saw him. He was on his own, drinking heavily (since some of his "nice" caregivers made sure to buy his booze), but now, he's sober. He's old, but he tells me, I know this place.

He was right. And when he got done from his appointment, I saw him in the building looking all pleased. The driver from the nursing home fell asleep waiting for him to be done with his appointment. He snored so loudly, he was providing entertainment for the passersby.

Good thing the sleep lab is in another building, or they would have stopped him to discuss his snoring.

Never a dull moment!

More later...
