Why I'm a Nerd #2 -- 4:04, Patient Not Found

This past Thursday, I finished out my apostolic work at the hospital for the year ("apostolic work" is simply the pastoral experiences that the St. Mark Seminarians do for a few hours each Thursday afternoon to introduce us to pastoral work).

We are generally given lists of patients who we are to visit.  I went to look for one woman, and she wasn't in her room at all.  All fine and well, I decided to come back later.  But as I left, I looked at my watch.  4:04.  I couldn't help but chuckle.

Yes, I did find her later.

If you have no idea why I find this funny, look here.
