This image title is a tip of the hat to Harry Potter – actually Mad-Eye Moody. I stayed up way too late last night reading the new book. And no spoilers allowed!! I will have to catch up on your blogs tomorrow.

How delightful to find all these comments – I love it when it seems we are truly connected are caring – it just makes my heart sing! I hope no one minds I am just appreciating and acknowledging those who have posted.

Welcome, welcome home, Neda!! It is so wonderful to have you back where you are safer on a a consistent basis … and have good internet connection. I know when I visit my Dad and have to go sit on the neighbors’ steps to “borrow” their wireless, I feel less connected.

Rima, yes, I am using the web more and more to research things. Also to find info by asking people – so many people are incredibly generous with their experience and expertise – it starts to feel like a good part of a world community. Julie, let us know about your daughter as that progresses! Does she have play dates and such? Are you out in the country or in a neighborhood?

Irene, thank you for being so supportive of my art. I am really enjoying the images you are creating! I don’t have a clue how you do some of them. The software that exists now also changes things around what is art and who is an artist.

Tom, thank you for sharing with us your dilemma and thinking process about your own relationship with your computer and online … (Tom was the very first person to ever post a comment on this blog). Have a great time with Michael! We will be waiting when your return!

Ellen, that is quite a story about 9/11 and being able to let your family and friends know you were ok! That is quite convincing about the power of the web. It is refreshing to hear you so confident about technology’s place in your life. You are welcome for helping you set up your website .. I think it looks great and your photos are beautiful.

Thank you to each of you who commented and I also appreciate those who come and just look and read. Thank you again!
