The soul has greater need of the ideal than the real for it is by the real that we exist, it is by the ideal that we live

running off to join the circus

I wasn't going to post today. I've had quite the busy day at work and all I can think of is my Friday martini. But I just spoke with a friend on the phone and the story he told me is so good I have to share.

He has to attend a party tonight he doesn't really want to go to, but feels obligated. Apparently he is acquainted with a lesbian couple one of whom just discovered her Sapphic origins, and shortly after meeting her newfound love, sold her law practice, and...wait for it...has joined the circus!

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the lesbians are running off to join the circus.

I immediately decided that this will be the opening of my autobiography. Our protagonist will be found at the farewell party for the recently lesbianized, Juris Doctore, circus performers, who will now be living in a trailer with about 20 dogs.

My friend said it sounded surreal, confirming my conviction that this MUST be the opening of my book.

Sorry I can't write anymore I just outlined chapter 1.

Have a fabulous weekend!

Love
