now we seem to be living that dream
a too-good-to-be-truist feeling,
in the meantime our
share with others, so that they might
keep it as-long as they wished.
This all sounds perfectly assinine,
it is amazing how hard it is to express an emotion that comes from
deep within, while, on the other hand
trivial things, like the man onthe
flying trapese, ‘bubble forth with the
greatest of ease.
COMING home from the show last
night, we noticed on the opposite
hillside great gobs of tremendous
lights. We immediately-econcludea
that the Narrow Gauge had been
playing hop scotch with the rails
again, or something tremendous had
occurred that called for all the patrol cars, ambulances, and tow-cars
in the county. The sluething instinct
in us popped out, we leaped into our
chariot and galloped over to_ see.
Imagine our chagrin to find it was a
home, decked with some very superior floodlights. It sort of annoyed us
too—it made our own pride-and-joy
floodlights look so VERY insignificant!
Going to the show in Nevada City
is like going to a party, you meet
all your friends and have a simply
elegant time chatting between acés,
and sometime during acts. We often
wonder how it is we are not politely
ushered out, but we try and remember the words of that great sage
Char Lee (McCarthy) Confucius,
“when you get into hot water, be
nonchalant, take a bath,”
