I spent some more time at the ICHOF yesterday going through the files to make sure that only information pertaining to that person was in that particular folder and then arraigning the files alphabetically to make them easier to find.

The Taste of Summer Circus performed two shows yesterday but the entertainment on the main concert stage was Great White and Brett Michaels of Poison so there weren't a lot of families there.

There were alot of 40 and 50 year olds dressed like it was 1988. I don't ever want to hear anyone from Wisconsin make fun of New Jersey during the heyday of 80s hair metal! The number of men sporting unrepentant mullets and women prowling the fairgrounds dressed like Lita Ford's older sister (or Mom) proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is something in the water (or possibly the cheese) around here that needs to be looked into.

Mr. Bill, Michelle and their kids treated me to a great piece of salmon (and unlimited peanuts!) at the local Texas Steakhouse after their shows were finished. A great time with a great family. I never get tired of talking clowning with other clowns!
