Today's News

Lauren and Sue are still hard at work doing the mid-season uniform re-fitting. Thanks you two.

The Colts arrived at 7:20 a.m. It's overcast and muggy in Robinson.

Last night at snack, the cooks served zucchini bread provided by Julie W.'s parents. The Colts also had an applesauce assortment courtesy of Hannah G.'s parents. Yum.

There was a Sisco food drop yesterday in Rock Island, so the freezer is almost at capacity again. But keep the food donations coming. We appreciate them all so much. We're leaving "home territory" in the Midwest soon, but all us Midwest parents expect those Texas parents to keep up with good work. Shari will see to that, won't you?

From the Virtual Cooktruck's 'Believe It or NOT' Department: One of the cooks reportedly has decided to stay on tour and not return home to work as he had planned because he read in the National Enquirer this morning that the moon's gonna explode in six months, so he thought, what's the use?

As always, check colts.org for the latest official word on tour news, housing sites, mail drops, or other corps information.
