Happy New Year to You!
Hello, dear readers and friends… Yes, I am still alive. I know I have been “off the grid,” here for a while. It really was unintentional. I posted two sort of gush-my-heart-out posts right after the events of Newtown, CT a couple of weeks ago and then…well, I just felt kind of off. I had…

I just finished reading today’s news…not that I don’t already know what’s going on. The faces of the Sandy Hook victims on my screen actually startled me and brought instant tears to my eyes.

Your What Hurts?
When met with a strange-sounding statement or something he didn’t quite understand, the Fab Hub will often ask the speaker, “Your what hurts?” It gets a laugh – or at least a quizzical look – every time. So when I saw a headline at MSN.com the other day began with the question, “What’s a Yurt?”…
