* Some rains in our futures...

Today’s classes are on a weather warning due to the calls for showers throughout the day. So, you may opt to cancel without any of the normal penalties. Nonetheless, let’s hope for the best & try to get in as much flying as possible because it’s supposed to rain for the next few days. Yesterday was an exciting day as Galit caught her set whip! And, she did this right after taking a static trapeze class! The ever wonderful Paul & Silvan took static classes as well. Samantha did back to back classes over the weekend & is working her catches well in the apron. And, our very own Jon G. caught his first flyer yesterday night! You gotta love it! “When all the world is a hopeless jumble & the raindrops tumble all around, heaven opens a magic lane. When all the clouds darken up the skyway, there’s a rainbow highway to be found, leading from your window pane, to a place behind the sun, just a step beyond the rain.” (lyrics from “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”) – Dino *

I think this is one of the 1st mentions of the energizer bunny herself, Galit E.! We remember that summer where Galit was the queen of set tricks. Nowadays, she's easily one of our most diverse & accomplished flyers. And, this mention of her above was a forecast of how she likes to schedule her circus duties: back to back classes of flying & static. It wasn't long after all that when Galit became a good friend, then a very dear friend. I still remember the night when she & I were skipping down the streets of downtown Manhattan, off to see the wizard, & in search of Samantha W. (also mentioned above) & her party. And by now, the lovely Silvan has moved cross country to be reunited w/her fiance. Jon G. is, as I mentioned previously, in Canada doing circus. I hope to see each of you again very soon & under happy circumstances...
