A CHRISTMAS CAROL, BY CHARLES DICKENSs

Is it ever too late to change the course of one's life?  This is the perennial question explored in Charles Dickens' classic tale, A Christmas Carol. Billed by some as a ghost story, today we know it as a holiday favorite that reminds us that what we did yesterday and today can shape our tomorrow.

This adaptation has several actors portraying multiple parts in order to tell the story. With traditional Christmas Carols woven through the narrative, you will surely feel enveloped in the holiday spirit!

So I saw a donation box on the way into River Cinema today. I was going to take a picture of it and it's accompanying sign but my phone is full of pictures of my nephews' baby swag and has no more memory. The sign read something like:

Donations

New and Used Books

Albania's Children

Help Troop 30041

Before Dec. 16

So, first thing's first; when I was a Girl Scout I was in Troop "Three Digits" and I sold cookies door-to-door for $1.75 a box to people who couldn't believe they'd gone up so much in price; and I was awesome at it, I learned a little something about begging/selling/schmoozing and actually earned my badge.

That's not bitterness, it's nostalgia.

Anyway, donate your books if it will cause you no pain.

I like the Girl Scouts, I like anonymous children I'll never see, I like books and encourage the same in others.

Oh, and:
