Aw, our little sleepyhead Luke wasn’t too perky this morning. The only things that kept him awake were his cell phone, Dr. Pepper, and the one cheerful ray of sunshine known as the princess. AJ giggled at the unhappy camper as she GENTLY reminded him that he missed a lovely breakfast and that lunch won’t happen until noon.

 During Joe’s speech the crowd is whipped into a frenzy of excitement as evidenced by this photo.
|
 Since Joe’s speech didn’t go over so well, he decides to whip off his spandex and streak through the back of the crowd. AJ, stunned, is overheard during her speech yelling, “Don’t look, Ethel!”
|
 Upon seeing the crowd in uproar during Joe’s streak, AJ follows suit (birthday suit, that is). She peels off her uniform and follows Joe around the cafeteria. Luke, ever scarred from seeing Joe and AJ nekkid, tries to compose himself and get the crowd’s attention. The last thing he was heard screaming (in true Ray Stevens style) was, “AJ, you shameless hussy. You get back over here and put your clothes on!”
|
 The riders take a few minutes to pose with Beverly Lamb and Leslie Cunningham (Kansas Rehabilitation Hospital DMO). It was our great honor to see Beverly receive the KRH Amputee of the Year Award. She is one heck of a lady and quite the pistol! She’s a great example of perseverance and having a great attitude. Keep it up, Beverly!
|
 AJ turns away in repulsion when Joe hijacks the group physical therapy and begins showing the patients how to cheat when doing pull-ups. All they need to do is pull the bar up from their laps to the top of their heads while making a very pained face so that it looks like they’re actually doing real work. Either that or he’s showing them how he learned to twirl fire batons back in the olden days.
|
 Midge agrees to have her picture taken with Joe only because he promised he’d leave her alone immediately thereafter. She didn’t know that he had his fingers crossed behind his back. We won’t tell you what hand gesture Midge gave Joe when he wouldn’t get lost.
|
 King Joe surveys his kingdom from on high while his minions, Luke and AJ, do all his dirty work. Of course, this is only possible because the court jester, also known as Abel, is not around to remind Joe of his height-challenged stature.
Our thanks to Rob Livingston, CEO, Leslie Cunningham, DMO
and her intrepid helper Jodi, our Guardian Angel, for your efforts and
the efforts of your entire staff who made our visit a great success.
And for the Therapy staff who suffered through our antics with gracious
tolerance. And a big thank you to the Holiday Inn for their generous
support.
