Do you ever have those "ah-ha" moments where you look at something and then all of a sudden, after possibly years of being familiar with it, you all of a sudden get it? I find that it happens to me most often when I am around kids who keep asking why, why, why. You are forced to think about why things are the way they are. Well, today this happened to me as I was cleaning out the basement at work. I was dripping sweat and I was vacuuming dust from the big table saws that we use to cut the frames (at the gallery) off of the cement floors when all of a sudden it hit me. I had to move a box that was containing a saw blade in order to vacuum under the table and on the box it was labeled "jigsaw". Click. Now this isn't something profound, and I guess I didn't really even "learn" it per-se, but it's something that I had never realized before - jigsaw puzzles are called that because obvious to me now, they had originally been cut with a jigsaw because they have a little blade which would be easiest to cut custom shapes and designs with relative ease. So I know it's not anything super fancy, but now it's something I know and I feel like an idiot for this revelation to just finally be clicking! Ohh well! - Lizzie
