Come one, come all… see the greatest circus of them all! 

In Ring Number One, the Ring Master a.k.a. Mark Morris, Ph.D.!  That’s right, folks!  Mark finally defended his dissertation and finished up the University of Houston ’s Ph.D. program in Industrial/ Organization Psychology.  Recently promoted to Senior Project Manager, he is able to analyze immense data files in a single bound!  The Ring Master’s keen, lasik-enhanced eyesight and catlike grace (traced to months of rigorous Tae Kwan Do training) contrast sharply with his distinctly larger abdomen. Dr. Morris’ act involves taming his gargantuan ego while balancing work and family needs on a fiber optic DSL line. The audience can feel the suspense, knowing that if he slips up, he’ll fall into the Doghouse of Death that waits below…

You won’t believe your eyes as Lion Tamer Sandy Morris performs in ring number two.  Watch as she wrestles two wiggly cubs while juggling her volunteer jobs as President and Newsletter Editor of her local MOMS Club… without losing her mind!

In ring number three, see the cutest children in the world!  Caroline’s imagination will delight and astound as she tells you how she became “Queen of Australia .”  Never at a loss for an idea, Caroline’s story-telling enthralls listeners of all ages. Everyone is spellbound as she illustrates her story with an endless supply of high velocity body language and gestures.

Always at her side (whether hugging or tackling) is her faithful companion “Ducky.” Caroline chose this nickname for her brother – we do not know why.  When we asked her, she said “because he comes when I call him that.” Not only can The Ducky Formerly Known as Colin walk and talk, he can eat nearly endless amounts of food!  See the maw that never closes!   Be amazed as he watches videos about Spot the Dog long after the expiration of a normal elephant’s lifespan, and long after his parents’ eyes have turned bloodshot and they are groping for the remote control, a drink, or a revolver, ANYTHING to make it stop.
