So, what else do you do?

Well, we all know each other as clowns, but I thought it'd be fun to get to know each a little better, sans greasepaint. So! Tell us about yourself. family, friends, pets, hobbies, whatever you like! Post pictures, if you care to. Who doesn't like to see pictures of cute kids, pets, or even of yourself. (although, isn't that like giving away your secret identity? Superman would be ashamed.

)

(and I'm not going first, so someone else has to post.

)

I'm 38. Father of three. Left handed. Married to the prettiest Auguste around. I spent nine years running a music store, That I did everything possible that was legal to purchase. When that fell through, I spent fourteen months being unemployed. I took a job washing pots and pans at a nursing home because I was desperate for a job. After donig that for seven months;and thanks to a drug bust in a different department, I transferred to the maintenance department of which I am now the director of.
....So I owe my career to illegal drug use :?

Also, I have played the guitar for 29 years. I am a Luthier. Which means that I build and repair stringed instruments. My love is making acoustic guitars, and mandolins; (I also love to make ukuleles).
I play lead guitar with a Gospel music group at a place called the Gospel Barn. I play in the house band . We have quartets, trios, and such come in and we open for them and play thru again at intermission.
And that is what I do to support my clowning habit!

Check out my alter ego.

OOOO my Turn

I the mother of 3 girls, 20, 17, 11 [Dr's were wrong] Married 21 1/2 yrs.
I provide home health physical therapy in our county. I'm choir director for my church as well as one of the youth, leaders. Director of our clown ministry group. Not a soccer mom, but a ball, dance, art, music mom. Like to sew, draw, sing and scrapbook [but never have time]

Used to get into my mothers old red lipstick to clown for my grandparents and my grandmother thought I looked wonderful [she was blind but hey thought I looked great] grew up on Little rascals, Mr. Knows it, Captain Kangaroo. Did not like Mr. Rodgers..

But in my job and in clowning, I like to perform for all ages, but for me seniors have a special place.
