12 minutes til the day we depart. Leaving us 15 hours to sleep, pack and pick up one or two more things before we head to the airport. Where I suspect we may be told our bags are too heavy and too full of weird stuff.
It IS kinda funny. A Toronto Star photographer came to Barb and Cam's house today (Lesotho Circus Camp headquarters, unfortunately for them) and we set up some gack for the shot. Clown hats, juggling gear, clown noses, a box of shoes... pretty colourful stuff. Keep your eyes peeled for a story in the Star, set to appear March 5.
Picked up the trapeze bar today. I made a new one with a hollow steel pipe so it'll be less weight in the luggage. Bought a swack of power bars, $100 in first aid supplies and more water purifying tablets.
Then I zipped over to the opera for the final performance of "Faust". Such fun! [side bar: Thanks to Bink and the COC folks for a great run. 'Til next time!]
And finally, I sit and type while recuperating from the Last Supper: hearty Italian. Richer and more caloric than any soul needs, and it's not that I was hungry for the molten chocolate cake, but what idiot would refuse such chocolatey goodness? And anyway, Dean and I shared it.

Hi Stacy,
I wish you fun and smooth sailing! Jackie did pass this site on to me. I look forward to reading all about your adventure in Africa. I really look forward to meeting you someday. I will watch the Toronto Star for your article.
All the best.
Hi Stacy and Dean (and for the moment Stew)
Hope that all has gone well and that you are 'rock'n and a roll'n in Lesotho. We are presently in the middle of another 30 cm snowfall with 50 to 70k winds forcasted. Probably a little warmer where you are. Keep us posted. We are looking forward to your next Blog. Just read the article in the Star and your Blog is given so I suspect it will be getting lots of hits.
Thinking warm thoughts of you guys on a blustery day,
Pop and Margo
Hi Stacy and Dean,
Great idea creating this site. I'll look forward to getting the lowdown, rather like I look forward to Pen's weekly letters. It's sort of like waiting for the next episode of a mini-series on TV.
All the best to all of you. I'm very proud of you!
Love Nanc
PS: Take good care of that Gumby. Mark carries his Mr. Bean Pez with him everywhere he travels for special photo ops.
Hi Stacy and Dean,
I just read your article in the Sat. Toronto Star. What a fabulous picture and write up about your program. Can't wait to hear about everything and to possibly see your video. Hope all is going well. Hi to Stewart. I'm sure the kids think you are a white giant hero !

Hi Guys,
As previous posters said you got a great article in today's (March 3) Star - 1/2 page FC photo. You can search it online with "Juggling Work in Lesotho".
Hope you are having a wonderful adventure!
