Wendnesday

It is very interesting how time changes everything as time goes by. Today I heard on the news that Fleet Week starts in New York this week, being Memorial Day weekend. This is an annual occurrence when military ships from many countries converge in New York, parade up and down the Hudson River then they dock.

I thought back that when I worked in the World Trade Center we saw these ships from our 91st floor windows. The last time I saw them was 2001 because after this date 9/11 happened. It just made me think how one's life changes in years time.

Something else.

Today we went to the circus. I bought tickets to the Big Apple Circus that plays out here by us in a very large park. It was very interesting because this is the way a circus should be. Under a gigantic tent, one ring. Not three like Barnum & Bailey and people don't know what to watch because there is action in every ring.

This was like a small town traveling circus but regardless it was cute. No spectacular acts but enough to awe the audience. There were trapeze artists, contortionists, a clown, animal acts where there was even a goat and a few other interesting numbers.

The show lasted about an hour and a half but we still had a good time. Abigail was totally surprised because this was the first time she ever been to a circus.

I'm such a nice guy for buying these surprise tickets.
