Well, thank you. It wasn't my best, but I thought I'd see what everyone thought of it.

It sounds like a good career for him - traveling town to town.

Hopefully not the one that plummeted to his death (in my “three ring circus”) oh oh… She was the smart one.

Yes, she was, Kim. I agree with your assessment. No, I would not wish him death!
