*If for some reason a link does not work, you may need to just cut and paste it into a new browser. I don't plan on being awake on vacation when this posts to make changes, especially when it was stated on Tuesday, "THERE WILL BE NO MORNING TOMORROW"

*A big thank you to G4 for the video/theme help. I did speak with Deb (yeah, we are close) about participating, she had a prior engagement on Wednesday. At this point, she just hopes there is a morning. That could throw her all off. She is a bit concerned because this came "Out of the Blue".

*Mac - can we get an update of the 40 man number immediately and every two hours following, please? Thanks in advance, we are all counting on you. Foo might even let you take him out for another lunch or six. :)
