    Well, who has the time?

    I'll be taking care of a friend's dog this weekend. That will have to suffice.

    Is this where we go for hugs? Asking for a friend.

    Local DC news featured service dogs being taken up to Capitol Hill today to comfort despondent congressional staffers after the election.
    Nothing incites bodily violence quicker than a Duke fan turning in your direction and saying 'scoreboard.'

    A new Escape Room just opened up down the road. Did one of these in Orlando about a year ago with WifePK and BoyPK and had a blast. Anyone here done these before?

    Someone might want to consider throwing the flag at that other thread. Starting to get a little chippy.

    It is a lot of fun, worth googling to see if one is close. Basically, there are various scenarios. You get locked in a room with your group, and you have a set time for your group to figure out clues to open locks and puzzles to move through the scenario before the time runs out. It is usually groups of 8 or 10 or so, but they will combine you with another group if you have a smaller number.

    We did one where we were in the White House, and terrorists had taken over. We had an hour to get through to a fourth room to disarm a nuclear bomb or something like that. Group problem solving. We physically started in a room that looked like a hall in a building; through various clues were able to open combonarion locks or find physical keys to get into a map room; then were able to do the same to get into a third room before running out of time.

    Found this YouTube video of a NYC TV morning crew doing one, gives you a flavor:

    Hugs available at any time. Day or night. I'm usually up late and Ymo gets up early.

    Could not help to just call down there and see how booked they are. Only did it once and did it out of town so not an expert. The place I went had four different set-ups, so they started in 15 minute intervals. Note that they may also have various scenarios going -- some more scary than others (ours was not) -- so check their website. This is the place we went, to give you an idea: http://americasescapegame.com -- the escape from 1600 link shows the scenario we did.

    Let me know if you do it, curious about your experience. It will be something different. We really had a fun time, went there with no real understanding or expectation (really just killing time). If we can all shake the autumn crud going around the family, we're there at the new local joint.

    Thanks! Not going to one in Orlando, at least not anytime soon. There was something like it in Portland, Maine when we were up there this past summer but it didn't work out for us to go.

    They really need to shut down that other thread. Election's over. Time to move on.
