Hey Nancy!   
      
   I see the real countdown can legitimately begin and according to the datetime   
   stamp of this particular message is exactly 26 hours from when I hit    
   to begin the posting process.  Of course I am assuming the actual time is   
   9:00pm Rochester time (aka EST).   
      
   Looks to me that I am ready, willing and able.  Hopefully the internet   
   connection will still be doable then as it has been flakey ever since being   
   restored on Christmas Day.   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice
