You may have noticed a "dip" in the quantity of new blogs over the last week, or be missing our regular Grant Gazing column in particular.

Sadly, our star author, Susan, has been dealing with a sudden and serious family illness this week. We've all been thinking of her and wishing her family well. If you have a personal relationship with Susan, I'm sure that she's included you on her Caring Bridge contact list.

Susan is hoping to be back at work in a couple of weeks. Until then, we will be thinking of her (and we will also be organizing something to help her - more about that in the coming days). I know she'd appreciate your kind thoughts, too.
