October was a busy blur of a month. On the 29th of said October, Hurricane Sandy roared through, creating an enormous AFTERMATH (capital letters required) that took homes, businesses, power for weeks, and most devastating—several lives. The ripples of loss due to Sandy continues in New York and New Jersey and will for some time to come. 

Here's to helping those who have lost so much.
Happy and healthy wishes to all for a wonderful holiday season.
