Snowflakes and Tumbleweeds

There not much to write about on the circus front these days. I went back to France for a whopping 6 shows* and am now back home for a month and a half break. We were initially supposed to be going to Portugal at the end of the month, but money woes has pushed that part of the tour to the end of 2010. So now, I need to find a way to occupy myself here at home.

I say that as if there's nothing to do. I have my back to worry about and went in for a bone scan yesterday. While my scan did show a very full bladder (thanks for making that so visible, radiation), I won't have the results for a couple of weeks.

Then of course there's training. I do not want to relive what I went through after the last hiatus. No sir, this time it's nose to the grind. So tomorrow, I sign up at the Y. That leaves the somewhat trickier bit of wheel training. I tried to see if I could fandangle something at my old elementary school. A five minute walk from my house instead of two hours (each way) by bus to get to the circus school? I'll take that. At least I would if they had let me. No dice. The principal had no problems, it was the school board. Fiends...

So it looks like I'll be making the trek to ENC. I just need to figure out what the most financially sound option is. The details of which I will spare you.

Lastly, and in many ways most importantly, I need to get on the phone and start laying a path for my circus to come perform on this side of the Atlantic.

So... yeah. Looks like occupying myself may not be too hard after all.



*Small town outside of Paris. Great theatre, annoying hotel. Some trouble with one line, I was distressed, but then I fixed it. Went bowling. Was the last to check out and had to pay a colleague's bill. The end.
