That was fun. Even if I didn't get to
find out how they get all those clowns in a car.
Like I mentioned, I got to run away and
join the circus yesterday with the winners of our “Run Away For a
Day” contest. For a half an hour the people at the Carden Circus
treated our winners like royalty by showing them how to work with
poodles, how to juggle, how to do aerial work, and, as a special
bonus, even allowed then to ride an elephant.
I think that's why everyone's smiling--
Being who I am, I've spent way too many
hours backstage and behind the scenes of events like this, and you
can always tell when people are just going through the motions or if
they're really having fun doing what they're doing. Rest assured
that these very talented performers really enjoy what they're doing,
and they were able to share some of that enthusiasm with our contest
winners and their kids.
So all kinds of thanks to them for
everything they did!

By the way, you may be happy to know
that the possibility of TV-13 losing their license following my
upcoming hosting gig on “Ask the Lawyers” has been downgraded
from “Oops, sorry about that” to “Well, it could've been
worse”. This follows a little meeting I had yesterday with the
show's producer about what exactly I'll need to do. Sadly, it looks
like I won't have to pull out any quotes from “The Verdict” or “A
Few Good Men”. Instead, I'll just be asking questions of a judge
and a lawyer and letting them handle the heavy lifting.
So I guess that's a good thing, at
least for Public TV-13. Don't forget—the sheer insanity of me
having to act like an adult who knows what he's doing happens
Thursday night at 8!
