And someone might want to consider the origins of the Pride flag - Gilbert Baker seems to have found his inspiration in "Over the Rainbow". You can take the Pride performance off the stage - but you can't the the Pride out of the "Wizard of Oz". Here's to the Friends of Dorothy.

In the early 2000s we produced a radio show based on “The Wizard of Oz” for the Children’s Museum of Los Angeles. Adapted and directed by David Ossman and Judith Walcutt. Produced by Elissa Glickman and myself. One of the things we learned was that Baum wrote his book in 1900 as a metaphor for the political, economic, and social events of America in the 1890s.

Give yourself a treat – (besides cake – though we all certainly need cake!) and read Robin Wall Kimmerer’s short and profound little book – “The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World”.
