While in Baltimore I participated in a Dolphin Encounter at the National Aquarium. Everyone knows I am OBSESSED with dolphins. I dream about them, I carry a wooden dolphin around with me as a good luck charm ...
Anyway, I played catch with Maya - we threw a ball back and forth to each other. She seemed to enjoy throwing the ball right at my face. Then I got to touch and interact with Nani. She was incredibly powerful - over 500 pounds of solid muscle. She is the Alpha-dolphin of the group and she is way intelligent. She flirted and talked to me the whole time and was so pleased with herself when she did everything I asked her to do correctly (the trainers taught me hand signals to give to the dolphins). Needless to say, by the time I left I was in love.
I had some spare time before Tom picked me up from the aquarium, so after drying my tears - yes, I cried in a bathroom stall b/c I had to leave the dolphins (LAME) - so I walked around the nearby Barnes and Noble. Much to my surprise, this month's National Geographic had a pic of my little Maya in it! So now I have a picture of both of my sweeties.

Brandi, I know we haven't seen one another in a while and I don't mean to give you a hard time, but you were playing catch? It looks like you two are doing about as well as anyone I know. I miss having dinner with you guys, but I wouldn't change anything after seeing these pictures. Good stuff! Here's a funny one Tom. Not sure if you're aware of this (seeing as how you live in the woods and all), but the NCAA tourney just ended. Final blog on Scott's pool: "Where is Bruce Wayne? Scott, I don't care where he is. Get him for next year's bracket. These boards need his banter." Thought you might get a kick out of that. And Brandi, please tell Jason that I'm not buying any glass sculptures, any music/poetry he may have written, or anything he may have "baked" while he tours with Phish the rest of the year. Miss you guys! Ari, Carlos, and Walter send their love.
