Some of us do love fire though. In fact, I just built a fire pit last night and we roasted hot dogs and whatnot in it.

Here’s a random quote from one of my favorite authors as a sendoff:

Keep a little fire burning; however small, however hidden.

Cormac McCarthy in The Road

And a random one I found when looking up that quote:

Each of us is born with a box of matches inside us but we can’t strike them all by ourselves.

Laura Esquivel in Like Water for Chocolate

Have a wonderful day, and may you find whatever retirement you’re looking for (hopefully it’s not on fire).

I used to work in the news and fires were one of my favorite things to be sent to film. It’s so powerful and destructive, yet so incredibly beautiful.

I have a fire pit in my backyard that I enjoy, does that count?

I was so excited to buy a condo with a fireplace. I haven’t built a fire in years, it just doesn’t get cold enough here.
Edit: In South Carolina. If you haven’t tried our barbecue sauce … consider yourself lucky🤮.
