My sweet Winedale Friends,
About the only thing that will make my New Year bright --besides the continued happiness and joy of my family and my friends--would be if the entire GOP was swept into a hellish sea of fire and brimstone.
Which seems the antithesis of well, just about everything all these winter holidays stand for.
But there you go.
They are ushering in a world of hurt to our most vulnerable citizens.
But it is with joy that I remember Winedale and all the wonderful times we have shared performing ourselves and our communities into being using Shakespeare as our guide.
We have been lucky in this world to have found Shakespeare and Winedale and Doc and each other.
I love you all.
And hope there was a lot of merriness for you and your families -- as there has been for me and mine-- during these holidays that are meant to be so life-affirming!
Let's keep affirming.
And keep resisting, through work and play, all those mean-minded orange-coiffed Grinches . out there.
Love to you all.
Merry Everything and Happy Every After!
Terry
