I will never, but never be as cool as my friend Katie. Forget all the other amazing things she's done, forget that she's smart and funny and lovely and down to earth. She's just run away to join the circus. For an entire year. This. Is. Awesome.
Just talked with her for about half an hour (sorry, anyone who tried to call during that time. circus talk trumps all) and was delighted to hear every last detail of her experience so far. I'm too old and too rooted for such a venture. You're damned straight I'm living vicariously through her!
Also, the notion of Katie wrestling Newman the pig for his mini Snickers bars will keep me grinning for days.
