Hi Everybody!
This has been a very busy week for me and most of it has been spent recovering from donkey basketball. I don’t know if you’ve ever played basketball on a donkey, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Some of them don’t care to be ridden. At least the donkey that I was given didn’t. A couple of the players had no problems at all. Their donkeys were like little horses: happy to please. “You wanna ride over here? Sure thing. Let’s go.” Mine? No no – mine were angry, terrible beasts. One stepped on my foot. They both bucked and kicked as soon as they thought I would be jumping on. The second donkey I had ran the entire time and all I did was hold on for the ride. A terrible ride.
So terrible that I’m still hurting from the whole ordeal.
There are videos too – somewhere on facebook – of me almost on a donkey and then being thrown off, landing on my side. I got up quick, but it hurt… every time… 🙂
Last night I took my family to a small circus – a first for my kids and my wife. 🙂 And it was so much fun! Dancing tigers, dogs and llamas, elephants, jugglers, all sorts of performers… just really glad there were no donkeys. The kids’ favorite part was the finale: the fire breather! Corbin said he wants to do that when he grows up. The hardest part for me to watch was the aerial ribbon dancing and high trapeze act. No nets!
So Spring Break is over – back to school on Monday – and a drawing tonight! If you haven’t got in yet, now is your chance. There will be two pens this month given away – one for the scholarship fund, and another to help my junior class with prom, along with a few other smaller prizes. I’ll pick winners tonight around 9pm.
Thanks!
