But, then, I don't really need an excuse to go out and make balloon sculptures. I just like to twist balloons for people. I'm sorry that I couldn't give more than an hour or so at last year's event. I did have to hustle up and get to church that evening. And I really didn't have time to turn into a clown for the event, but it didn't seem to make any difference.
People just love balloons.
I choose to twist for Balloons around the World at our local hospital. I really like to twist there, and sometimes find the extra time to do so after a clown event. In the halls and rooms, others see me and ask for balloons for their kids or their grandma, their girlfriend, or whatever. Even the hospital staff gets kinda pushy, begging for balloons for their kids, etc. I remember one time being a real soft touch, and spending more time trying to leave the hospital than I did the entire time ballooning for patients.
