Thanks so much for doing these! Always useful, great way to keep up to date with other places than the ML. Good luck with the 1 year old, may her steps be functional! -F

HWN is a huge service to the community. I have read many interesting blog posts that I would have never otherwise found. Thank you! We really need a successor! Please, please.
