Get a handle on it, Laurel. And put the handle the right way!!!

Well, I ventured out there again and tried to do the Get a Handle on it timeless template again. I was absolutely NOT successful the first go round.  The garbage was introduced to that creation. And then, I think I finally got it and am so proud of myself, and bam, not so much. The [...]
