Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends:
1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;
2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;
3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.
It is the generous and good hearted people in this cast and at businesses like The Plant Connector, Hot Plate Brewing, and Casita Berkshires that keep me believing in stories like A Christmas Carol.
I could not be more proud to be exactly where we are for our closing night.
