Thanks for your reply & sorry for taking so long to get back to you.  I've

I'm going to try closer to home first (trying to save shipping $).  I guess 
shipping by Grayhound would be the cheapest.

Dr. Mark,

Please update your URLs. They have a sneaky "edu" directory 
snuggled alongside the domain of the same name!  :-)
