Walking a Tight Rope

Well I safely transported a van full of people to the Shriner's Circus and back last night. . . praise God!  As we drove up, PETA lined the driveway with its protest signs.  I did feel pretty badly for the bears being put through their paces; even they looked bored.  Altogether, it was a pretty weak circus. The chimp wore pants and rode a scooter.  The pacing was awful and it dragged on interminably until the jump roping guys, and there is no way to explain their act, but it was darn good.

Our 'core members' are mostly sweet and gentle souls, but some sulk and become impatient, angry, reluctant to participate and on the whole, behave as children at times.  Some behavior calls for discipline, but they have their own Bill of Rights and are free to make choices.  Therefore, it can be a real balancing act at times.
