X-PLODE!

I'm fine, in case any of you were wondering.

But a word of caution--when it rains in New York, don't go outside. Seriously. That's the SECOND steam pipe that's exploded in my vicinity on a rainy day. The first one was down the street from our rehearsal space. There was a BOOM and everyone started running.

We were far enough away that we stood there and watched the pandemonium. Some older New Yorker looked at us and said, "What was that? It sounded like a steam pipe blowing up. Or maybe it was a car bomb. I'm getting out of here."

I thought this was an island, not a riverboat.
