Surprise!

Today was KB's b-day, a good buddy and co-chief resident. It was a surprise party that was concocted by his wife, and I was one of the conspirators. It was Big Bird's and my task to keep KB occupied for 7 hours while his wife frantically cleaned and prepared the house, food, cake, and welcomed guests, all the while sounding perfectly calm and blasee over the phone when talking to KB.

But holy smokes! 7 hours? I don't know what to do with myself for 7 hours; what were we going to do with KB? In the end, Big Bird, KB, and I went to the Fox and Hound in Schaumburg and played some pool. And it was a darn good thing that Big Bird and I both suck at pool; one game takes us 30-45 minutes, and we're actually trying. Needless to say, we had no problem killing enough time for Roxanna to get all prepared.
