Guess it did, **Idle Thoughts**. Too bad. I guess you’ll follow me back in here! By the way, **ETF** … does that mean 9 PM Central Time, or what? (can’t possibly be Pacific Time) ---

Oh, never mind. It didn’t. (darn you, **Lobsang** … you snuck in here whilst I was composing my last post!) I’ve run out of ideas for now. ---

I’m here!!! I’m HEEEEERRRRRRE!!! It’s 9:48 p.m East Coast time. I live north of Boston. Yeh, I work odd hours – go into work at midday, and leave around 7:00 or 9:00 p.m. depending on workload. But it gives me my mornings free for the horses. 😃 And I’m a night owl anyway. So, who’s gonna pop in next? Ahhhhh… I still want **Lobsang** , although predicting him always gives me an urge for smoky black tea. 😉 But I kinda think **RedFury** might still be lurking, waiting for the call. ---
