## Notes

It was nice to "take a night off" with the circus ... to simply watch and wonder rather than taking my usual analytic approach to an evening out. It was a good show. Maybe a bit too samey-samey for some folks, but there was plenty of interesting activity to watch, and not too many "what are they thinking?" or "when will they get on to the next segment" moments for me. Solid!
