I'm glad it made it to you. At least one of the emails I sent out last week made it to an address besides the BN List <smile>. Oh my goodness, 16 hours is a huge time difference. That totally surprised me, as the time difference between New York State and Bosnia in eastern Europe, for example, is only 6 hours, so I didn't expect such a huge difference. Maria
