Last Saturday, I performed a magic trick in front of a crowd of about 75 jugglers at a juggling convention. Now, I am going to reveal to you the secret of this trick!

I once saw this fantastic balloon-artist perform. Well, actually, he wasn’t a balloon-artist, but really a mime artist.

She whispered down the phone, “Quick! Julian, I am ringing from your father’s house. What is the name of the tip of a shoelace?”

Meantime, I started negotiating a deal. Grace would persuade Ben to give up the secret to the binary trick…

Okay, shhh! Listen up! Everyone, shush!

Here’s what we are going to do….

It was in the early 1980s. My brother and I were working on our homework. My father, Joe, decided to have a little fun.

Joe decided to put an academic spin on the old prank of sending out the apprentice for striped paint or a long weight.

My father, Joe, smoked cigarettes when he was younger, but he decided he wanted to give up.

My father, Joe, introduced John W. to the love of skiing. Soon John was just as keen at skiing.

One Sunday morning when I was a teenager, Joe confronted me. “Where were you at 1am last night?” he demanded.

“I… ummm.. errr…” I stuttered, quite startled.
