Let me say the last 48 hours (up to writing this, the morning of December 2) have been very gratifying.
First, all the notes and comments, cards and acknowledgements - in response to my birthday and then, last night, the amazing turnout for the end of this chapter of But That's Another Story at the Rivoli, here in Toronto.
For a long while I have known that I am truly blessed, not only because for the most part I have lived my passions, but also I have been so fortunate to be surrounded by people who care - family and good friends, parnters, collaborators and people I work and play with.
So thank you - to the tellers who came out to last night's BTAS show and those who always answered the call when asked to perform; to the regular audience members for storytelling shows that I produced; to family and friends who put up with let's call them my "ecentricities" and allowed me to be...me.
Although this incarnation of But That's Another Story is done, to quote noted Yankee 20th centruy philosopher, Yogi Berra, "it ain't over until it is over" and it ain't over.
