I am so saddened by the news of today’s events.  I can’t even begin to try to put it into words but I seriously thank my lucky stars that I had everyone I love in this world so close to me and safe.  Unfortunately, others were not so lucky.  My heart goes out to all of the families who were distressed and overwhelmed by today’s events.

I was scheduled to appear at the surrounding Boston Libraries this week and will keep everyone up to date on whether or not the shows will still go on.  I hope they do.  I think that children’s laughter and innocence, at times like this, is so important.  I dedicate all the shows this week to any of the people and families affected by today’s tragedy.
