Mystery Illness

Jaspal is still sick. Not sure what's wrong, though his throat is pretty swollen. He started taking antibiotics a few days ago, but so far he's still in pain. He has resorted to communicating in strange charades that don't look like anything, such as pointing in the air to mean "ice cubes" and scratching hs armpits to ask "Have you taken a shower?"

It is like living with a chimp.

MB and K left just now, and hopefully will be back in Boston in a few days. Last night we had a mini birthday celebration because I think everyone will miss each other's birthdays. For those of you who are unaware, Jaspal and MB have the exact same birthday and K and I have the exact same birthday. Crazy.

All right, off to rub some Vick's on Chimpy's neck.
