For any of you MI clowns - you know who you are - and anyone else - Junction Valley Railroad on Dixie Hwy and Junction near Frankenmuth starts their annual "Spook Train" tonight. Every weekend (fri, sat, sun) for the month of Oct and Halloween. I've got myself roped into being an "actor." No, SME won't be there - enough kids are already afraid of clowns, SME does not wish to be associated with terror. Although the scene that we're in is rather benign and the train ride itself is rather enjoyable full of startling bangs, cute halloween-ish scenes ... and of course, teenagers with chainsaws.

So, I know that there's at least a couple clowns that reside nearby - Hope you can make it!

Yeah, I thought is wasn't gonna be clowning, but as it turns out you can take the suit off the clown but you can't take the clown out of the man.

So, dressed up in spooky garb - and rather handsome I might say - I entertained the crowds just being goofy. I guess still not clowning, per se, but still more silly than scary. It was a blast! Now all we have to do is keep the rain away for another 10 performances!
