More from Buffy

Dad is looking better. He is eating and drinking. They hope to have Dad out of the hospital by the end of the week. He had bacterial pneumonia and also a viral infection from the CMV. CMV is a virus that 98% of the population is exposed to at birth. It is something that typically is never activated, but when you have an weak immune system - it shows up. Surprise!!! He is on an anti-viral medication for at least month. But he is responding well to the medication for his bacterial infection. 

He was feeling well enough to tell a joke: 

 

A man is in a bar talking to friend and said, "My friend Roscoe is here. He knows everyone!"

The friend replied, "He can't know everyone!" But the friend insisted saying, " I really think he does." 

So the man is introduced to Roscoe and he asks him, "Do you really know everyone?" And Roscoe replied, "Well, yeah, I think I do." The man asked if he knew the Pope and Roscoe said, "Oh yeah! I am going golfing with him tomorrow - I need to see him to change the tee time."

The man refused to believe that he could know the Pope, so Roscoe finally invited him to go and meet the Pope. 

They got on his private jet and Roscoe told him that he was going to talk to the Pope before he went out on the balcony 

to talk to the congregation. 

The man waited in the courtyard with the crowd of people who had gathered to see the Pope. Finally the Pope came out and right beside him was Roscoe! The man could hardly believe his eyes. He asked the man next to him if he knew who was up on the balcony and the stranger said, "Well, I don't know that guy in the funny hat but he is standing right next to Roscoe!"
