“Ladies and Gentlemen. Boys and Girls. Children of ALL ages. Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey’s Circus is proud to present … GUNTHER .. GABLE .. WILLIAMS!!!”
Is about all I recall in vivid detail from when I went to see the RB&B&B circus as a kid with my parents, aunt, and friends. (And, as a sidebar, gave me the idea to be a host of something “cool” someday.”)
Saturday, my wife and I are taking our three to see Ringling Brothers on their farewell tour.
It’s exciting that I get to take my kids to see it.
But incredibly sad they won’t get to go again.
