Thanks...I’m not the most computer savvy, but have finally learned that panic is not Step 1. Reboot and try again. The first reboot brought a bunch of things needing updating and restart. 2nd reboot and finally all seems to be well.

Navy is playing Notre Dame - Always a toughie for me - I usually root for ND but in this game, I always pull for Navy - the classic underdog - although they knocked off ND last year.

Must retire - the usual 0500 wakeup coming. Will see you all on the morrow. Thank you, God Bless you, and God bless the United States of America. And may God protect all our troops in harm's way!
