My father was born on August 3rd—today he’d be 114. He was the leader of a troupe of acrobatic contortionists who entertained with amazing feats of balance, agility, and strength.  They toured in the 1930s and 1940s performing in circuses and night clubs, known throughout Europe as Su Yee and in America as the Ming Sing Stars.

Strolling through the garden enjoying the many views. I enjoy watching people, sometimes even more than looking around at the surrounding scenery. Have you ever noticed how a child so easily mimics a parent’s way of walking. Look from behind and watch how their stance, stride, gait, and arm swings are distinctively similar.  This is especially true of little boys and dads.
