Still jetlagged a bit from my recent trip to London so it’s hard to get back into my lines. I saw a few shows there and met some old friends. One of the most inspirational parts was my visit to the Dickens house.
Charles Dickens lived for a while in this 4-story home (in fact, it’s the only house left standing that he lived in) and now it’s a museum. It was a thrill to check out all the places where he worked and found for inspiration. The best of which was his desk when he himself worked as a clerk, which was also the same style Scrooge & Cratchit had in A Christmas Carol. There’s a photo of me standing next to it in the press section of the website. Just holding on to that desk made me feel all crotchity and cranky like Scrooge.
