The ubiquitous Juggler

FishNews

This week I have felt like on of those circus jugglers that enters the ring and proceeds to throw a couple of innocuous balls in the air and as the act progresses various other items are thrown at him and he proceeds to keep the entire assembly airborne and buoyant in an increasing frenzy of activity!

“Blind to the Beautiful” – the new video idea

FishNews

I’ve decided after discussion with my promotions people to hold back the release of “Blind to the Beautiful” as a single until April with the primary set up occurring in March.
