Snakes....Idaho...Texas...Track...Skunks

How crazy and wonderfully filling and fulfilling a day can be.
Yesterday the family was chit chatting and little Olivia expressed an interest in adding a snake to the show so later we went to the pet store in town with a buddy (Hi JC) and they took a corn snake out of the tank and she took to it like it was a baby doll. The three year old loved it. So I started my look for a Red Tail Boa today (I was told they are the best one for human interaction). Craigs list, local shops, the newspaper. Who knows maybe soon we will have yet something new in the show.
Idaho....We performed in Lewis County, Idaho three years ago and it was fun. The group has contacted us again. We are in negotiations. It would mean 48 hours to get from south Texas to North Idaho.....can it be done?
Texas.... A buddy of mine (Hi Vorin) is the manager of a nice theater in Texas. Through a deal with him we are going to do a 2 or 3 show program for the schools in that area. Already one school has bought a ticket for each of their students. Three days before this gig we Will be finishing up our Iowa gig......talk about glob-trotting.
Track...Princess Cynthia (who was a State finalist last year) has had a pretty tough season. She missed a couple of the first meets due to the bad timing of a bad cold. Then she did 2 meets and twisted her ankle badly at a practice....SPRANG! That was two weeks ago and 3 or 4 meets. She hopes to be better for the league championships in two weeks. keep he in your prayers. At today's meet Miles ran the Mile and took 4th; the 100 meters (his first attempt) and though he finished 5th out of 5 (he's a distance runner) he had a blast and was laughing the entire run...in distance shoes not spikes. He also ran the 3200 (2 Mile) and took first. he loves longer races and prefers 5K, 10K or more.
Skunks...It''s the time of year where we restock our sales items. 300 spring skunks arrived today. They are very popular at our show. Whew!
