Since moving to the new hospital here in the city - a new building housing both general medicine and psychiatric medicine (not sure but we might be one of the first with this new innovation), - I am really quite enjoying it. Although I have to do a lot more walking within the hospital (and I am not getting lost anymore), you never know who you might run into. Sometimes it's friends you rarely get a chance to see and sometimes it's colleagues who work at different ends of the hospital.
Now if anyone was actually paying attention last week as they walked down the hall of C2 and D2, they would have noticed that there was a special someone touching up the figures of some famous cartoon characters (the Pattersons) giving them a fresh look. The Pattersons along with their dog, Farley, have found a new home in our little corner of the world. Lynn Johnston, the creator of the cartoon strip "For Better or For Worse" diligently worked at touch ups on the family as they are set to take a permanent place in our new hospital. As a patron of the arts - albeit music (I can't draw if my life depended on it), I admire Lynn Johnston's work and am envious of her talent. That gene must have been a recessive gene in my family.
The story here is that John and Elly are exhausted. Elly is rubbing her foot from too much walking. Michael is carrying a grocery bag with groceries. Unbeknownst to him, there is a hole in the bag. Farley sees this and sees that some sausages have poked their way through the hole. Only the two kids have noticed this. Farley is being held back by Michael while his sister sees what Farley wants to do and does not pay attention to her ice cream dripping all over her shoes.
