INTERVIEW with the Ex-clown

Regular readers know that I have a brother who is an engineer.  In his younger days, he was also a professional clown.  I don't think he was ever in the circus, but he entertained many a child at parties and church events. 

I write about him once in a while, and he tolerates my ramblings.  (For posts on the ex-clown, check out "the ex-clown" file folder.)  He's a good egg.

For I Day, I sent him 26 questions to answer.  Each question focuses on a letter of the alphabet - an expansion on the A-Z challenge.  Here we go...

1.  What is your favorite ART form? (painting, music, writing, crafts, etc.)  Clowning.

There you have it.  Riveting journalism.  

You can now tell your friends you became acquainted with an ex-clown today.  They'll probably be envious.  You can direct them to this post if they want to be part of the "in" crowd.
