You know how there are circus families who pass their skills down to each successive generation and they all make a living traveling together around the world sharing their talents & skills with the rest of us? I think you and your extended family should form a traveling cerebral artypants/comedy troupe. Your Dad would be the Ringmaster, and all of you (including the kids) would take turns sharing your thoughts about everything while creating art right before our very eyes!

And don’t worry about Graham not liking crowds: I can tell you from personal experience that even though it appears that the performers on stage are looking out into the crowd and having personal eye contact with you there in the 27th row, the truth is that they can’t see through the lights past the 1st row or two of people. (I’m always happy about that, being that I have stage fright.) And everyone knows that comedy is funny because it’s listening to people make truthful observations in an entertaining fashion. Which you all do very well. And I’m sure that circus troupes must qualify for group insurance coverage and all.

I’m with Dadio, Tiffany Ard for president. Kitten kicking or no. I’ll just keep mine indoors and out of sight. It would be totally worth it.
