Note: I know how many of you feel right now, and I have been putting my thoughts together post-election/-Guy Fawkes Night/-Daylight Saving Time. We really seem to be hit with a lot this particular autumn. So, I will look at the challenges and continue to create. And I will leave you with this one.

Please read...and understand.

-K.D.

Normal is not normal now

(Other ideas come together)

New hope must fight old frowns

(Opening that door will make things better)
