 Caroline and Bill Vanover are pleased to announce their marriage on Frday, the twenty-sixth of June in Gatlinburg, Tenn before joining the ride on Saturday the 27th of July 2009. Congratulations. |

 The
epic battle between good and evil continues. Actually, it was a continuation
of the evil vs. eviler battle that began long, long ago in a land far, far
away on the AAA ride of 2005 whereupon the Bill the Magenta Knight and Joe
the Chartreuse Knight engaged in a skirmish over visiting numerous A&W
restaurants while purposefully bypassing every Starbucks. |

 Why
on earth would anyone give our already overly big-headed, estrogen-loaded,
self-admiring princess a Superwoman cape? PLEASE do not egg on our princess!
We can’t tolerate much more of her fabulousness! |
 The gang’s all here for a pre-ride-in photo. Four members of the Evansville Police Department were dispatched to our group with the sole purpose of making sure that Bill doesn’t violate the conditions of his parole:

 As
we ride our trusty steeds into Deaconess Rehabilitation Hospital, one of the
motorcycle cops ever-so-gently reminds us of our promise to return all the
silverware that turned up missing after last year’s visit. Barb Butler, CEO,
was smart enough to install a metal detector in the front door to make sure
that it all stays put this time. Sorry, Joe. You won’t be able to add to
your HealthSouth silverware collection today. |
 Overheard:
“And so when I turned the ripe old age of 23, my buddy Moses asked me to
help him build his boat. When he told me how big it was gonna be I thought,
Geezy Pete--this is gonna be one luxurious cruiser! Then after we finished
it, instead of loading it for a trip to the Bahamas like I thought he would,
he fills it up with stinky animals. I thought he had thoroughly lost his
mind but stayed on to humor him. Boy, am I glad I did! There was one heckuva
rain storm the plumb warshed everything away. After the flood went down, it
was my job to help repopulate the earth and that’s why I take frequent naps.
It’s very tiring.” |
 Doc’s
speech was so interesting today that it forced AJ into a trance-like state.
Wait, that’s called a nap. |
 Bill
tries to enlighten the audience with his version of the subtle nuances
between Indianans, Kentuckians, and West Virginians. As his explanation
whistled out around his five teeth, he clarified that it has something to do
with having fewer teeth the farther East one travels.
If you look closely, you can see Bill's eyes are
closed and rolled back inside his head. Bill keeps looking in that
empty shell for some insight into the ways of the world. |
 One
butt is butt-signing another butt’s butt.
|
 Juanita is a testament to the tenacity of the human spirit. Recovering from triple bypass surgery, she was the queen of the room. Even AJ can’t argue with that! |
 This
patient injured her foot kicking Bill in the spleen. Afterward, he is
reduced to signing her poster on all fours in the floor. If Joe would’ve
know that all he needed to do to get Bill to bow down to him was to kick him
in the spleen, he would’ve done that four years ago.
|
 Joe
tries to elicit a laugh by making a puppet out of himself but is taken aback
when the puppet’s voice, Bill, says “I’m a short little troll. Even Abel is
taller than me.” Foiled again! |
 Our
thanks to Barb Butler,CEO for once again being the gracious host who
overlooks the lack of our riders' social graces. And to
Tina Densley, DMO who suffered traumatic stress
syndrome when face with impending court actions regarding the antics of
Bill, Doc, and AJ. Thank you HealthSouth Deaconess Rehab Hospital for
what you do to assist your patients to return to living an active life.
There is none like you and your love and care for patients is evident in
everything you do. Thank you for allowing us to spend a day with you
and your patients. |
