Barb, As usual you made my day. I'm still laughing. Not at Phil,at your sense of humor. Thanks for the other information.I think it may be more on my level of understanding. I'm a high school drop out with a GED equal to a junior in college test score.Now days my brain doesn't function as fast and I certainly do not want to speak in front of a bunch of people or go on a leture tour. HA!HA! Thanks to all.
