    The Domain name is safe. I have renewed it this morning. I apologize to everyone.

    I do not know why the Domain was not automatically renewed eventhough I have notification from them that it was supposed to be.

    It was an amazing sight -- The Wizard lost his cool. The phone call came arousing him from a late-morning sleep-in. He bounded down the stairs without kilt ..... without clothes for that matter ... and ran to the computer. He almost left the house in "a natural state", running to the kilt shop (thank goodness we live so close). That would have caused interesting discussion in the neighbourhood -- Steve without his kilt (no one would comment in this neighbourhood about the overall lack of clothing, probably).....

    Heart rate has gone back to normal.......

    My honey-do list has been put on the side burner ......again.

    The real question isn't whether The Wizard ran outside without his clothes, but rather whether he ran outside without his mug of coffee and his pipe

    In all seriousness, thank you, Steve, for the morning's mad rush.

    I almost had to start the ironing - this is taking brinkmanship a little too close to the edge.

    Should we take a role call to find out if any of a fragile disposition failed to survive the shock?

    Hmm. I see that the 'new post' counter did not lose its sense of humour, it shows I have 190 new posts......

    Thanks for taking care of us Steve. I was a little concerned when I got the expired message this morning, but figured you were on top of it.
