So, I'm standing in line at my favorite cafe in Hadley, MA, Esselon, studying the pastry case when I ease drop on a conversation the barrista is having with a long, lanky fellow (LLF) wearing a knit cap pulled way down over his head.
Says LLF, "Four lattes to go. They're for a meeting I'm having with a group of circus performers."
"Oh," says barrista as he tops off the espresso with steamed milk.
"Yeah, just what they need, more caffine," adds LLF. "It's not like they're not flying off the walls or anything. See ya later."
Next day, having lunch at a cute, crunchy deli cum bakery cum bistro, Amy's Bakery Arts Cafe in Brattleboro, VT, I overhear:
"I know you. We met at my gallery opening. You're the trapeze artist!"
Just another day in the country with circus performers. Is there a lion tamer in the house?
