Great idea Alan. A well-earned break to recharge the batteries and to share the conversation … bark with others! I’m going to give it a try as well. Now I need to pick an auspicious date.

CD and D’Arcy … just ran the same query. After my own comments, D’Arcy dropped 30 on me and Alan you left me 10! Thanks to both of you for contributing to my motivation.
