    If I didn’t know you as well as I do, I’d accuse you of just saying that for effect!
    As it is, though . . . well, let’s just say: How did the conference call go with the rodeo clown?

    The rodeo clown was super articulate, which is good, because the story I’m working on involves a rodeo clown school–the rodeo clowns call it “bullfighting” or “rider protection”–that he’s teaching this summer, in Wyoming.

    So, does that mean there will be photos of YOU doing rodeo clown things? Preferably in full clown makeup and the big shoes???
    After all, you played football with women, so this should be a cake-walk . . . or, a teeny-tiny car, as the case may be!

    Naw, I think ol’ gonzo met his match with this one. No interest in facing an angry bull.

    Living in rural Oregon I happen to have a very close friend who is a forest engineer by day and rodeo clown by night. Let me know if you need another voice with clown makeup.
