Immigrants keep taking my wife for up to twenty-four hours, and no one is helping! Police won't do anything. I'm asking this community for advice on this situation!!

- BY MIKE O'BRIEN

I feel powerless! She's the mother of my children, and she keeps getting kidnapped! Please help me end this nightmare!!

The most recent example: last night, my wife got called in to her real-estate job for an all-nighter, which anyone who knows the real-estate game will tell you is fairly common. So she put on a dress and lipstick and started walking to her office. But then I noticed a red flag: a Mini Cooper pulled up down the block, and she got in the passenger side! I was able to get a decent look at the driver, and, sure enough, he was an illegal immigrant!! My stomach filled with acid!

I have a knack for detective work for a reason that, legally, we shouldn't go into, so I knew that I should do a Find My Phone on her phone. I drove to where it indicated she was, which turned out to be an Indian restaurant.

The immigrant had taken her to her favorite restaurant! Was this a death-row last-meal thing? Or, worse, would he make her eat ten entrées and then she'd be “Gluttony” in his series of seven-deadly-sins killings!?! I stared at him through the window as he cackled with laughter, rolling his eyes back like a shark.

Pam Tanowitz's Pastoral, Ailey Does Joni Mitchell

In the dreary month of January, summer makes a brief but welcome appearance via Pam Tanowitz’s “Pastoral” (Rose Theatre; Jan. 11-13). It’s a bucolic work, a peaceable kingdom of serene, sometimes quirky dances, set within a landscape of vibrantly colored fabric panels by the artist Sarah Crowner. Dancers move with bracing clarity as Beethoven's “Pastoral” Symphony wafts across Caroline Shaw’s musical collage, which also suggests the buzzing of insects, bird calls, rain.
