For millennia, humankind have gathered around campfires, telling stories and singing songs under the stars. Even though the campfire at tonight’s Community Campfire event was virtual, it was a pleasure to sit with both old friends and newcomers on an evening where my real life was buffeted by howling winter winds and blowing snow.
I’ve just come through a wearying six weeks of intense project work at my university, and tomorrow marks the start of a five-day weekend for me (it’s also Thanksgiving up here in Canada on Monday). So I am going to kick back, recharge my batteries, and adjust to the change of seasons.
