Circus news at last.

I've done it again.
More than a month has passed since we started the season and I haven't reported on the show yet. The Fuscos should be leaving in a few days, which will change the program of the show, but as of today here it is:

First part:
- Casey's tiger act
- Steve and Ryan digging for gold act
- Armando's bareback riding act (with the Fernandez and Josie, his sister)
- Fridman's rola bola act
- Delena Fusco's hula hoop act
- Natalie's dog act (executed by Patsy)
- web act (in progress, now only Courtney is involved; she and three others are rehearsing a dance act to go with the complete web act.)

Second part:
- Fernandez' trapeze act
- the Fusco family malambo act
- Steve and Ryan's sink act
- Armando's elephant act
- Fusco twins' juggling act.

In other circus non-news, Casey has a new tiger, a six-month pup called Shanti, named after a character in the Disney adaptation of The Jungle Book. He walks her around on a leash and she curls up to him like a kitty, hard to beat in the cute department. His act has also evolved considerably, with many new tricks.
My work, on the other hand, is regressing I'm afraid. Several times now that I've tried to get a decent picture of the Flying Fernandez for the circus program and failed miserably (in France they'd say never two without three, in failure or otherwise.) Granted there is no light and my camera has no motor drive, which loosely amounts to trying to drive a Ferrari with snow boots, but then again, incompetence loves excuses.
Finally, there is romance in the air (no pun intended; it doesn't involve any Fernandez family member.)
Enough said.
