Sadly, it’s the final day for the fearsome foursome to ride together. Tired of Joe’s constant whiffle bat beatings, Doc’s constant search for Dunkin’ Donuts coffee, and AJ’s belches of terror, Bill has one last hoorah for this year. Fortunately, Bill stayed far away from Joe during dead man’s curve *see the 2005 journal for specifics* and left the group in two pieces, just like he came. 
 


Doc and Bill shake down some locals (bless their hearts) that couldn’t run away fast enough to avoid being caught.



 


Anny looks a smidge uneasy when our two resident prosthetic leg salesmen try to get her to order one leg for the price of four. She might have been interested if she was an amputee but our boys don’t do details.  



 
 


After Bill wowed the table with his “turtle and the snails” joke, John tried to pedal faster to get away and Jerry pretended to be unconscious. They heard that, if they ran away or played dead, Bill might leave them alone.
 
Bob brought a big, honkin’ stick with him to therapy today when he heard about Doc’s unruly antics. Bob is a true survivor and is working hard to overcome his mountainous obstacles. We wish him all the best and hope that he gets back on his feet soon! 
 
During yet another HealthSouth visit with Bill AND Jim DeLong, Joe tries to go incognito by covering his enormous cranium with one of his many man-purses.  
 
Cai and his family came just to hang out with us for a little while today! He certainly is a special little boy and we are very honored to have been able to spend part of our day with him. Never let anyone say “you can’t” Cai!  
 
Bill had Georgia on his mind while he was talking to Georgia. Georgia had lots of things on her mind, but Bill wasn’t one of them.
 
Marion shows AJ how she gave Joe a flying karate kick right in the seat of his pants. Incidentally, Jim and Bill danced a jig with glee after her flying butt-kick of death. 
 
Mr. Lee is inconsolable after Joe details, in great length, the number of times that someone has made a “little Joe” joke about him. While we're on the subject, Joe is so short that he has to buy his clothes at Gymboree.  
 
Linda erupts with laughter as Bill gets down on one knee. Overheard was “Heck no! I’m not about to marry a midget sasquatch!” 
 
Tony and Bill are both ardent UK fans, are happy to be alive. Their giddiness of pure, unadulterated joy is somewhat dampened by UKs prospects for the 2010 season.  
 
Clarence yelps in pain as he listens to AJ and Doc’s rendition of “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.” Poor Clarence just couldn’t find a stick hot enough to poke his ears with in the hopes of making himself go deaf and, thus, be immune to their reverberating, unharmonious tunes. 

Our heartfelt thanks to the staff and all of the patients at HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital of Huntington.  Special thanks to Mike Zuliani, and Kim Cummings, DMO, for putting up with us a second year in a row and for their prodigious effort to find us rooms in the midst of a national soccer tournament.  Thank you one and all for your generous support and for all that you do, every day, to give lives back to your patients.  Thank you Hampton Inn, Barboursville for fitting us in and for what you do for the community.  Hope to see you all in 2012 when we return.
