    New to Me 4

    Please note, this is the fourth in the series. I still only provide three new things. I love learning and realize that, although six degrees of six degrees puts me in the ballpark of ‘knowing’ a lot of things, there is much for me still to discover. I’m not claiming to be smart–or dumb, I’m
