I just saw your Thousand Clowns post.

Here’s a few bit of trivia related to me and the Clowns.

~ I played Nick at the tender page of fourteen in a dinner-theatre production in Nashua, NH.

~Barbara Harris is hands down one of my favorite actresses. Think “Nashville” and Hitchcock’s “Family Plot”.

~Herb Gardner and I share the same alma mater, Antioch College. As a server in New York (now 22), I waited on Gardner and the writer/illustrator, Shel Silverstein.

I remember his describing an apartment’s decor as “fun gothic.” Loved that, not to detract from your poignant message…. Thanks for being there, always.

I like this idea. May consider it for myself.

I'm tempted to do this - but are you doing this for real, or is it just a nice idea?

Been doing it for years. It's become a habit. I don't even notice I'm doing it because it just feels natural. And it's an honest optimistic sentiment I like to lay on strangers with a smile.

That would be "age" not "page". :)

One of my favorite movies as well. I’m the social worker. My husband is the free floating guy. ❤️

I think of my fellow citizens as parts of a helicopter… We may be moving in opposite directions, but we’re flying in close formation…
