My wife is the treasurer for the elementary school which two of my children attend.  She "coerced" me into volunteering to twist for the school's fall festival.  The festival lasted from 12 until noon; however, I didn't keep an eye on the time and by the time I put a placeholder person to end the line it was 5 hrs of twisting.  No breaks....not even for the restroom.  My wife said that "not everyone is going to want a balloon......."  WRONG!!!  I had the longest line at the festival.  No complaints from kids or parents though as I try to entertain as well as twist.  Probably helps that I've never really grown up.     I would have typed something last night but had to rest the fingers.  I'm definitely not complaining as I really enjoyed the whole experience.....sort of like running a marathon.  I just wanted to share it with people who could relate.  

Just received Ken's "Fantastic Females" in the mail a few days ago.....Off to order more balloons lol

The time does fly when you're ballooning doesn't it.  I did a long gig like that and it was great although tiring and hard on the hands.
