Clowns and Cellos...Do Not Mix!

Ivonne, who has recently so graciously offered the Mtn. Top Library as a meeting place for the new A Course in Miracles weekly study group on Sunday at 5, brought some more books to sell at Hypnocoffee, for donations. Senor Jefe Tony-boney thought that I should read The Man Who Loved Clowns, by June Rae Wood. Upon reading a review from Booklist that the book was "A gentle yet strong story," I knew that such ambiguity would only lead to heartbreak from over-attachment to meaningless characters whose lives outside of the book are free-wheeling figments in my imagine nation. Needless....I won't read it.

While El Jefe made fun of the "creepy" cover, I read further and discovered that the clown-lover has down-syndrome (due to lack of coffee, perhaps?) and that the lovely little lady does all she can to avoid people and friendships b/c she doesn't want people to make fun of her Uncle Punky (that's really his name...). El Jefe didn't think that was a good enough reason to not make fun of him....what would constitute a valid reason???

Last weekend another great band made it out to Thomas for a Purple Fiddle show. This group, Cellofourte, while one member was missing (Cello____?), totally rocked our socks off with energized cello rock, basically....surely a band to not miss if you see them nearby!

In other news, the whatever annual Old Timer's Reunion is coimng up fast! This weekend grottoes from all around this God-blessed country will convene on Back Road near Beverley, WV, to share lots of things and get down to the nitty-gritty at sweaty sauna-world. If you can get in, do it.
