    I was excited to find this community thinking it was for lovers of fire, then i read the sidebar. Good luck with retirement.

      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.

        And while Forest fires are so destructive, the fresh life that comes in their wake is amazingly beautiful.

      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.
