First Photo Posted On This Blog


For my inaugural photo post, I'm chosing one of the scariest shots ever taken of me.

Dan, Will and I went to London in February. And we bought masks in a shop in the Soho area of London. We promptly went to a pub and tried on the masks. The English were not amused.

I was disturbed when I saw this on Will's blog, and I am disturbed now. I fear the clown. Thanks for adding a photo, though.

I am the clown. Of course.

I'm sure that Tara can comment on the clown issue much better than me. But here's my take.

Clowns are not and never have been funny. Even as a kid when my parents took me to see a circus, I thought the clowns were tiresome. I just wanted the clowns to get done so I could see some people walking on a tightrope.

Then there's the aspect that clowns often venture into the crowd at the circus. When you're six you don't want some jerk with a painted face assaulting you with balloon animals and a flower that squirts water. It's just too much. Therein begins the hate.

However, put on a clown mask, and you'll feel menacing. Believe me, when I put that one on, everyone cut me a wide berth.
