Summary:
Nick wowed us with an interpretive reading of Edgar Allen Poe's classic "The Raven". Karen gave her Ice breaker.

Joke of the Day
A man is having a really bad day on the golf course. By the 14th hole, he's missed one putt too many, and he lets loose with a string of profanities, grabs his putter, and storms off toward the lake by the 15th tee.

"Uh-oh," says his caddie to one of his playing partners, "There goes that club."

"You think so?" said the other golfer. "I've got five bucks says he misses the water."
