Tidbits

I just heard from sonya that joe has enrolled in circus camp in SF at the end of july. He's going to the Circus Center , it's a real circus training camp! His big show is July 27th....I can't wait.

Also just finished an outstanding book called the Law of Dreams by Behrens. It's just out so you should go to the library or put it on your list to read when it comes out in paperback. It's about a young man, Fergus, during the potato famine in Ireland and making his way to Canada. The story has been told so many times....but the writing is fantastic, places where I had to read it aloud the rhythm was so beautiful. And without a lot of psychobabble, it tells the internal emotional story of being the only survivor of a family, of having everything taken away from you, of finding things to hold onto. A really great book right to the last word and image in which Fergus encounters a young boy in Canada that does not even know his name.

I'm going to LA on Tuesday...hanging out with Lily, J&J, Harrison and of course the cousins. I'm visiting 8-9 schools so will probably be an emotional wreck as always after seeing the best and worst of America. So be aware!
