Hi Folks, As of now, I am going incommunicado (I know it is April 1, but I am not writing this to make you an April Fool). God knows for how long.

Ask the Potter
We are made of the same clay Though in form, differ we may And also in what we get called Hearing this,you may be appalled That this seemingly puny little me Is in actuality same as thee.
