Cathy is visiting with us this week, and we've had a busy week. She made a trip to the dentist, then we saw The Wizard of Oz at the Redlands Bowl. It was an excellent community theater production.
Today, we all traveled to Anaheim to see the circus. We had great seats, and we all enjoyed it. The show was awesome. The 21st century circus is not the same as the circuses we saw as kids. The clowns don't clown like they used to, and there were no tightrope walkers. That's progress for you. But the acrobatics were great, and the elephants and tigers (and the dog and pony show) were lots of fun. Christy's last circus was 10 years ago, and she slept through that one, so she was excited to see it today.
Best of all, when we go to see the circus, we all become children again. Even the adults look at the spectacle in wide-eyed amazement. That is what is special about the circus. How many things in this world bring out the child in everyone? We need more of that in this old world. It would make it a much better place. From where we sat, there was just pure enjoyment all around us (along with popcorn and cotton candy).
