Weekly Themes: Week of June 12-18, 2016

The Themes for this Week are Transition and Transformation.  An often humorous variation of this is Transmogrification, which I "thought" originated with the Calvin and Hobbs cartoon, but now know was in use much earlier.  But, back to the dictionary.com definition, to Transmogrify is to "transform grotesquely"  --  in other words, the "dark side" of our Themes.  And what makes me think in this direction?  Because we (in the USA) just experienced yet another mass murder, bringing up the question, about how people, who might come across normal (enough, in this case, to pass background tests, to become a security guard) can transform (or transmogrify) into a murderer?  So may all your Transitions and Transformations be uplifting ones!
