Attack on Americana!   In Studio City, California, "an elderly woman who lives in a home made famous by 'The Brady Bunch"  television show scared  "off burglars who targeted the house in the middle of the night."   Scary!  I don't know if Alice could have pulled this off?      story

I could never sit through the new Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice - at the movies, at home, or in my sleep.  But that's me.   Wonder Woman actress Gal Gadot told People magazine she has enjoyed playing the role of WW in the movie.  "She is all about love and compassion and truth and justice.  There is nothing not to like!"

~~~Happy Anniversary to The Principled Type~~~  ( ... sung singing'ly to the music of Happy Birthday).
It's been a whole year since the start of the TPT blog!   It went by fast.  Sort of.  Kinda of.  I hope you--like I--have weaned a word or two of wisdom from others quoted here.  Or comfort.   Or smiled.    If you read some posts last year, shoot me a shout-out in the comments or email.  It's all good.  

Onward and upward.

Principle in the type:  "My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.      Maya Angelou

DIFFERENCE MAKING

Bob and Suzanne Wright were pioneering laymen in the fight against autism.  Upon a grandson's diagnoses in 2004, they found very little resources and information available.   The Wright's told themselves,  " 'We have to do something.' and so they did."  Their 10-year-old Autism Speaks nonprofit has been an invaluable addition in the fight to treat, look for cures, and help those with autism.      news link
