About Me

• I know the difference between a monkey and an ape • I am neither a real doctor, nor do I play one on tv • I believe in love • I am a former Ringling Brothers and Disney Live! clown now in between and moving on toward the next thing. I am fortunate enough to have visited countries and places I once only read about. • I hereby resolve to use no profile manager, nor shall I embed gifs or audio on my profile to bog down your computer. This is my promise to you! Well, some comments . . . . • I will not necessarily add you just because you request. It's not personal. I am lazy at both accepting and rejecting. Also, it's probably because I don't know you. Or I can't view your profile and determine if I want to know you.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who spells words out. Anyone who wears pants or shorts in a manner such that underwear and crack are not visible. If you read Measure of a Man before Oprah put it in her book club, you get bonus points.

Mpls Move

Well, three weeks ago I made the move to Minneapolis. I'm in a studio apartment I love and I'm still trying to get out of boxes, off the floor and onto a mattress. I'm working two pretty nifty jobs: o...

Clowning Opinion

Excerpted from an email I typed to a friend:I don't like my comedy or clowning to be overburdened with politics or a point; it becomes as rude as a phone going off during a movie and it also can becom...

Long Political Diatribe

Bingeing Whore

Today on the way back from open gym (where I made a much improved go at the juggling I've been doing, threw my China partner Jessi H. around and even experimented on a Chinese pole) we stopped off at ...

It IS Difficult

Was over at some friends of a friend's place yesterday evening for a delicious potluck dinner and their TV was on the Republican National Convention. They were "keeping their eye on the other side" as...

Something to Think About

I just finished _Lamb_ by Christopher Moore, which is a mostly funny fictional account of the missing years of the life of Jesus according to his pal Levi, who is called Biff. I'm going to have to che...

Camp Success

Here I am near the end of the first of two weeks of circus camp I agreed to coach. Usually I get all self-conscious because I wonder how I'm doing with the kids, thinking that I'm not necessarily givi...
