Baltimorons

To answer a couple of quick questions that were posed.

1) Yes, Chan, there is no trip and this is all faked on a sound set. In fact, we're using the same one that NASA used to fake the moon landing.

2) Daniel, we've decided to be neither cryps nor bloods. Instead we will be part of the Ethiopian mafia.

I survived my orientation marathon, it was touch and go there for a while, but I made it. it was pretty much a mini nursing school all over again. Today I demonstrated my proficency in various nursing skills, including the care of a patient with a tracheostomy. If I have to take care of a laboring woman with a hole in her neck I am in big trouble. All and all it has been a long week and we are looking forward to a long weekend of exploring our new city.

So anyway, we just got back from an Orioles game at the famous Camden Yards. Very cool stadium. The team, not so much. But it was fun. We went to Boogs BBQ which is famous for various meats and flat beer, as well as the owner who used to be the third baseman. It was a great game, mainly because we left in the 5th inning. We knew we had seen enough when we saw the 9 month old with a mohawk. Really, what else is there to see after that?
We are well on our way to really knowing the city and being comfortable here. But don't worry, we don't have plans to move here for good. We're just enjoying learning our way around and becoming true Baltimorean . . . Baltimorites . . . Baltimorons? Uh . . . people who know their way around Baltimore.
We'll send lots of pics from DC and we plan to bring you all a small souveneir of the Lincoln Memorial.

And by that, we mean a penny.


Love, Aaron and Charity

It's only week 1 of your 2 month adventure and already you're getting fresh and trendy ideas about infant fashions and hairstyles for all the future baby Leetches! (We're convinced that is the real reason for your trip.... Charity always likes to do things that are distinctive and unique, hence the need to see firsthand all the newest and latest in the very-junior-fashion arena. :)

We miss you and can’t wait to hear more fun stories!
Love, Rudy and Jo
