Still moving Mom out of her apartment into my sister's place, so reading time is QUITE marginal. Will be going home (after 5 weeks!) and returning to peace and quiet on the 19th. 13 days and counting, LOL! As a result, I am completely adopting the "not-too-challenging" motif, and choosing a small but potent word - - HEAT...
