Those babies are probably overheated.

So the troops have all gone out to dinner and their respective shows. 
I have maintained my position in the hotel room. I don't feel good. This is fine though. Here in the hotel room is a jacuzzi and a television with more surface area than Italy.
Brett and Ali are going to see Avenue Q. Chase is going to All My Sons.
Went ice skating today. For about half an hour. Got about 1/28th of the way around the rink and my feet began to cry. This was Brett's first time on the ice and he did swimmingly. Chase devoted the rink time to practicing his hockey stop. We're not quite there yet.
Lunch was taken at a place called Five Napkin Burger. There are photos of me dripping with aioli.
Brett and I saw In the Heights. I feel that the plot could have been eliminated altogether. The singing was fabulous and the orchestra quite brilliant. The dancing consisted mostly of clavicle isolations, so that wasn't as exciting as I'd hoped. BUT- you are allowed to bring your candy and water into the theatre there. Very exciting.  Also from where I was sitting I had a nice view of the chess match taking place between the flautist and the drummer. 
Chali saw a matinee of 13 and were absolutely dismayed. So crushed were their expectations that they decided against speaking with the composer (their seat-mate) after the show because they didn't feel like telling that big of a lie.
Chase is uncannily skilled at Scrabble. Makes words like "pox." "Zephyr." "Larnyx."
I have been strongly discouraged several times today from catching a pigeon.
I just think they look like they would be squooshy.
Katie Holmes has bunions.

We're sure you meant "larynx".... either that or you just got robbed.
