Does he still juggle?  (Freff had just graduated from Clown College when I
met him at Kelly's place in Va. Beach many moons ago and tried to teach me,
but it was several years later before I learned that trick).

Yep.  I was at their wedding at Disclave.  If my memory serves, Alexis
married them (they'd been *legally* married earlier that day by a justice
of the peace, but considered the Disclave wedding their real one).  It was
quite a production too!  Freff was in clown dress, and mimed the entire
thing until they were pronounced Clown and Wife, at which point he threw
his hat in the air and whooped.  Amy was dressed sort of like Morticia
Adams, and was dragged down the aisle, resisting the whole way.  Freff's
Best Man was in Samurai garb, complete with sword...which was drawn when a
lawyer leapt up at the "if there is anyone here who knows any reason..."
part citing cases and waving papers.  When the sword came out that was
altered to, "no objections..." and he sat down again.  A lady dressed as a
ringmaster read a poem too.  The audience had wizards, wookies, and the
usual hall costume mix of the day and filled one of the event rooms at the
Sheraton Park (at least a couple of hundred people).  It was on the
official program I believe.

Of course he is.
