(Excellent!  In a world full of trouble, how else would you expect a super hero to be?  There were no new clue words today, but all the clue words were jumbled expertly.  Three of the jumbles were new to me, with only the “young” one definitely having been used before.  Another fantastic job on the answer letter layout, as well.  I don’t think it gave anything away.  That Superman never has to pick up women, like the rest of us do/did, because he always seems to catch them falling from the sky!  Not a bad intro, if I do say so.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Henry John Stock (British, 1853-1930), “Influences” (Photo credit: sofi01)

“Even a mistake may turn out to be the one thing necessary to a worthwhile achievement.”   —   Henry Ford

(So, never be afraid of trying something new, for fear of making mistakes.  In order to grow we all must learn from our mistakes.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

PS.  This painting came up, unexpectedly, in the Zemanta gallery, but I’m glad that it did.  These dark specters could be past relatives or friends, or even past mistakes, influencing how and what she is thinking.  If nothing else, it beats a stodgy old portrait of Henry Ford!   —   YUR
