***  ATTENTION!  ATTENTION! ***Hey, Guys--I am okay and fine and dandy!
And I am so sorry for cause any undue worry and fret and whatnot.  I've been away on a couple of trips with friends and family and had absolutely no internet access at any of the places I stayed.  To make things worse, my Comcast connection at home was out when I left and was still gone when I arrived home yesterday!  And then when I went through my pile of mail last night, I found a card from DR Singdaw voicing concern for my whereabouts.  I ran over to my neighbor lady's house to ask if I could use her phone-line AOL connection, but she began to tell me about her week of woe and it seemed impolite to ask if I could use her computer afterwards so I had to wait until now to logon here at work.
Again, sorry about not letting y'all know what was going on.  And thanks for the vibes and concerns anyway.
