“If you are a dreamer, come in
If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar
A hope – er, a pray – er, a magic bean buyer
If you’re a pretender, come sit by my fire

Tell me a story … about telling stories, about storytellers … tell me a story.

Sometimes in our lives we all have pain, we all have sorrow. But, if we are wise, we know that there’s always tomorrow ...
OK, popular karaoke songs aside, I’m looking at mountains of snow in my neighborhood knowing they’d still be covering the road, my sidewalk and my car were it not for
