The Big Ring Circus is closed for cleaning and renovation. Sasquatch, as newly appointed head of security, will likely be available to answer your questions as needed. Riverboat, as our beloved janitor, will be shuffling about-swinging keys, leaning on his broom, and in general milking the clock. Here are some suggestions to help you get through this difficult time.
Read a book- and here's a list of good ones I have enjoyed over the years.
Growth of the Soil- Knut Hamsun
Everything is Illuminated- Jonathan Safran Froer
Fortress of Solitude-Jonathan Lethem?
My Losing Season- Pat Conroy (insert joke here)
Blood Meridian-Cormac McCarthy
Huckleberry Finn-Samuel Clemens
Confessions of Nat Turner-Stegner?
The Air-conditioned Nightmare-Henry Miller
The collected works of Louis L'amour
That should do it.
You could also...
Learn to cook:
a nice pot of etoufee
Mulligatawny stew
Pot Roast w/ coffee gravy
Arroz con Pollo
Drunken Noodles
Black bean Soup
Eggplant Rolotini
Or:
Write your congresspersons, or learn who they are
Hang out with your dorky new road bike buddies
Play chess
Listen to Public Enemy, Fear of a Black Planet
Build a tree fort
Steal office supplies from work
Drink some Manhattans
Or a Robroy
Climb a water tower
Plan an ambitious outdoor adventure, and invite me-
But don't just sit around waiting for something to happen.
Later,
Juancho

Or you could give yourself a facial and watch your cat watch birds out the window.
Or you could take your Mom's new foster-dog, Maggie for a walk.
so, um. Where'd ya go?
Here I am! Surfaced momentarily in Ft. Myers, FL. Tomorrow Anna Island, then home to Tally for a few days of recoup, then off to South Cackalackie for a few days.
Jeesh...
So, who's down with the Tour de Felasco? www.tourdesanfelasco.net
(Or something like that, just google it!)
Take me back to a south Cackalackie
Down cross the bridge to my sweet sassafrassy
Can't stand up on my feet in the city
Got to get back to the real nitty gritty
Tour de felasco? Sounds a little dirty to me...
Young lady, down here if you are scared, we believe one should just admit it. We won't respect you less.
