(Gotta love it!  All of today’s jumblings were new to me!  Of the actual clue words, there is one that is also new today.  And, that is “richly” deserved!  Our good friend, ralis95, is going to have to put whatever he is doing on hold, and update his clue word database!  The way the answer letters layout is a marvelous jumble in itself.  Nice job, Hoyt!  I love the cartoon, too.  Plenty of detail.  The wizard’s hat.  At first I thought it was a witch’s hat.  The broom hanging on the wall  Again, coulda been a witch’s.  Also a magic wand!  And, some kind of miniature horns, that I don’t quite get.  Hey, I’m only a casual Harry Potter fan.  You have to admire Ms. Rowling’s life story though.  From a single mother on public assistance, barely earning enough to feed herself and her child, to one of the richest women in the world.  Very impressive.  As you might have guessed, I’m not a big Hilary Clinton fan either.  I liked her better when she was first lady.  Now, I find her much too hawkish, and I disagree with some of her priorities.  She is a remarkably bright person though.  That’s enough for today, friends.  Be well and do good.)   —   YUR

The deepest definition of youth is life as yet untouched by tragedy.”   —   Alfred North Whitehead

(So, I guess if you consider that the various bad things in your life don’t necessarily rise to the level of tragedy you will stay forever young!  It’s all about our frame of mind.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
