Helen Keller described life as "a grand adventure or nothing at all". This blog is about my own grand adventures over more than seven decades. I could tell you about my family, friends and loves; or my experience with loss, death, divorce, betrayal, and other life tragedies. But life remains a grand adventure, and its those experiences I'll pass along to you. LIVE LARGE & LONG!

"Yesterday is already a dream, and tomorrow is only a vision; but today well lived, makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope."

August, 2012: Denver County Fair FREAK SHOW
This has got to be one of the strangest things I've ever seen. It is a freak show in the old carnival tradition of the last century. As they say in their introduction, whereas with a magic show you may ask, "How?"; with the carnie show you ask, "Why?" The Enigma is a man tatooed all over his body with a puzzle pattern. He has implants in his forehead, giving him horns and chunks out of his ears as well as various piercing. His partner, Serana Rose is less tatooed: only one leg from crotch to toes, but she sports a string which goes into her nose and our her mouth. And she's as good a sword swallower as the Enigma. Their act is gross and painful to watch; but like a car crash, hard to turn away. Their website is: http://showdevils.com. Don't turn away!
