GOING TO THE CIRCUS





It has been a while since I've been to a circus. I used to go to Ringling Brothers when I was a kid. Tonight I took Julie for her birthday. It was pretty fantastic. I especially liked all the trained animals, most notably a bear riding a motorcycle and a monkey playing the drums. Julie thought it was cruel. I just kept thinking, "what bear wouldn't want to ride a motorcycle". True to the country of its home, the circus was grandiose, but poorly paced and disjointed. It borrowed elements of other circuses, and at times came close to being original, but never quite. Nonetheless, it was a good way to spend a night.
