Hi--

I know there must be a slew of Ken Larsons out there, but I'm wondering if you might have been known in another lifetime as "juggler ordinaire" and share my birth date (though you'll always be a year older...).

If you're the one my mother caught balancing a rattan chair on your chin in our kitchen in the early '80s, I'd like to offer my best congratulations on your intelligent and timely cartooning. And if you're not the Ken I knew, please accept that same sentiment--I enjoy your work immensely.

All the best, and if you're my fellow scorpio, I'd love to hear from you.
