Good night!
Sweet dreams and a good rest.....we will need it for all of the shoveling in the morning!
Help Me Meet My Goal --- Please Make a Donation Worth Dunking For
Hi Sue,
I will be participating in the 12th Annual Maryland State Police Deep Creek Dunk for the Special Olympics. Last year, a couple of friends had convinced me that it is the right thing to do and that the water wouldn't be too cold. They were right about one thing -- It was the right thing to do!
This year's Dunk will be held on February 27 at 2:00 PM. at Deep Creek Lake behind the Uno's Bar and Grille
The mission of Special Olympics is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for persons eight years of age and older with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community.
Please help support the Special Olympics. The closer I get to my fundraising goal the warmer I will feel in the water.

Thanks!!!

Blizzard #2 White-out Windy Conditions
Can you believe 50 inches of snow with deeper drifts? When will we see each other again?
Whiteout Conditions!
Listen to the wind howl!!! This is the scene from my front door. See you guys at Sam's in March!

Update on Jacque: He remains in Gilchrist Hospice. Gladys thought he seemed a bit brighter yesterday, although he can't get out of bed. He is able to eat ice cream. He may need to leave Gilchrist this weekend depending on his condition, and Gladys is making preparations to bring him home. Gladys is also feeling better from her treatment. Thank you for the prayers, keep them coming.

The Funniest Staff Meeting Ever!
From our friend, John S., who likes to give us a smile.
The boss of a Madison Avenue advertising agency called a spontaneous staff meeting in the middle of a particularly stressful week. (This is one
pretty sharp boss!)
When everyone gathered, the boss, who understood the benefits
of having fun, told the burnt out staff the purpose of the meeting was to
have a quick contest. The theme: Viagra advertising slogans.
The only rule was they had to use past ad slogans, originally written for
other products that captured the essence of Viagra. Slight variations were
acceptable. About 7 minutes later, they turned in their suggestions and created a Top 10 List. With all the laughter and camaraderie, the rest of the week went very well for everyone!
The top 10 were:
10. Viagra, Whaazzzz up!
9. Viagra, The quicker pecker picker upper.
8. Viagra, like a rock!
7. Viagra, When it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight.
6 Viagra, Be all that you can be.
5. Viagra, Reach out and touch someone.
4. Viagra, Strong enough for a man, but made for a woman.
3. Viagra, Home of the whopper!
2. Viagra, We bring good things to Life!
And the unanimous number one slogan:
1. This is your peepee. This is your peepee on drugs.

SPOT-ON WEATHER FROM A TEAM YOU CAN TRUST
Serenity Bay on Castaway Cay, so relaxing
- Here's my favorite photo from my birthday cruise. Weird to think that I was reading with my toes in the water just last Saturday with my friends....we had a great trip.
- Ok folks, get your groceries and be prepared, they are now forecasting an historic storm for the weekend. This group correctly predicted the snowfall amounts before Christmas, so check it out at
SPOT-ON WEATHER FROM A TEAM YOU CAN TRUST.
- Jacque has been moved to Gilchrest Hospice. The family is hoping to have him moved closer to home. Gladys has had her final chemo treatment, hooray! She is recovering from that, but remains optimistic and in good spirits, What an amazing example for us all.

Update
Heard tonight that Jack has been moved to the CCU for his care. He is being kept comfortable with medication and was not put on a respirator, the family's decision. He was conscious today. Gladys plans to continue with her final chemo treatment this week. Prayers are welcome.

Update
I spoke with Cindy, Jacques and Gladys daughter', on the phone this morning. I let all her know that the bagel family was thinking of them. Jacques was too ill to have the pacemaker surgery. He was mostly unresponsive yesterday and remains in St. Agnes. His heart function is 10-15%, his lungs have fluid, and his prognosis is poor. Only the family is allowed to visit him in the hospital. Prayers, prayers, prayers. Cards may be sent to:
Mr. and Mrs. Jacques Tittsworth
12A Maple Avenue
Catonsville, MD 21228

Prayers Please
Hi everyone, I just spoke with Gladys. Jack was taken by ambulance this morning from Sam's to St. Agnes Hospital. He was admitted and is scheduled to have emergency pacemaker surgery tomorrow around noon. And Gladys is scheduled to have her final chemotherapy treatment next week. Gladys says she hopes to be back soon at Sam's and thanks everyone, especially Harold, for their help this morning.

Happy 2010!
John S. always sends us something to laugh about.....he says there is always too much advertising at his doctor's office for products and medications, but the one below is the best.
He says his doctor warns that if the light stays on for more than 4 hours, he should call his erectrician!
Happy New Year to everyone, sorry for the long lapse in blogging. I am working on 2 other online projects now and time is getting away from me. Check out the blog about my Dad's naval ship at www.usscurrier.blogspot.com/.
Jack is home from the hospital and Gladys will soon have her last chemo treatment. We hope your health improves in this new year!
Patty is in the process of getting her new kitchen this week. I know that's exciting.
Pat R. just left for 3 weeks vacation in Florida, however, she decided to fly and not drive this year. She was longing for some warm weather.
Glenn is asking for everyone's support for Catonsville's Relay for Life. You can sign up and get more info at www.relayforlife.org/catonsville. Their kick-off event will be held on January 20th at Matthew's 1600 from 6-8 pm.
Don't forget to make a donation to the Haitian Relief Effort to the charity of your choice. Most Haitians earned $1 a day before the earthquake struck......a donation equal to the cost of a bagel and coffee can truly make a difference. I chose http://yele.org , a charity run since 2005 by Haitian musician Wyclef Jean, for my donation. They will use 100% of the monies received for the relief effort.

Medical Updates
Gladys is recovering at home and doing great. She was thrilled when Dr. Mike surprised her by sending a lovely flower arrangement.
Paul had outpatient surgery at Hopkins on Tuesday to replace his pacemaker/battery pack. He did so well, he was back at Sam's the next morning!
I went back to the doctor's yesterday since I was still coughing and extremely tired. Turns out that I have walking pneumonia. I am sure the antibiotics will soon fix me right up.
Hope the rest of you are well!
