Three cheers from south of Bloomington, Dennis.
Come down and see us sometime.
Again, excellent news! True Wildcat swagger.
Congrats Dennis. Need to catch up some time and talk Bulls basketball and Cardinal baseball.

I'm confused - was Dennis nominated for CNA of the year or did he win it? Is he competing against Hannah O'Neil? Or did he pick up the co-CNA of the Year?
If so, don't get me started, Dennis could run circles around O'Neil. bbd
Toohill is "described as a team player", though some say he tries to take all the glamor of eldercare for himself.
"The Glamor of Eldercare"??? Will that be the new medical drama to follow Mercy, Trauma and Nurse Jackie?
Good noble work, friend and cousin, DIT!

Congrats DIT. IRBW wants to talk Cardinal baseball with you? I assume you've made it public that you're back to being a Cubs fan, right?
