| Bio: | Cut from the belly of a whale at the wee age of 5, I have no recollection or knowledge of my family. I was raised on the sea by a gentle captain and his "mates." I learned to fish, crab, and train sea faring birds to dance and talk. One of my favorite birds was named Pelicy. Pelicy could recite entire sections of Proust's famous book and would often regale strangers, much to their amazement, with his songs and strange stories of the sea. I loved that damn bird.
One dreary night, a violent storm tore our ship, "The Sea Carp," to pieces and I never saw my shipmates or Pelicy again. I ended up in Canada, where I worked as a hot dog "technician" with a traveling carnival for 43 years. After spending years rising through the ranks, I realized my dream of becoming the lead hot dog "technician" and decided it was time to move on.
While working at the carnival for that many years, luckily, I managed to pick up a few other skills on the side. Although there isn't really a big calling for axe jugglers in the business realm, it has its place, and work can be found. With the money I've stashed away from my side job as a lead burger "technician" in the states and the axe juggling, I've managed to stuff away quite a little nest egg. At 103, I'm ready to live it up!
