Well, thanks for your understanding, Kris, and hopefully everyone else.

If all goes according to plan, I should be on the 20-meter net this 
afternoon.

Because of my geographical position in West-Central Lower Michigan, and the 
fact that 20 meters still shuts down fairly early here, I'd better not take 
net control.  However, I certainly can be available to take relays.

And Kris, congrats on the new desk.  It's always great to have lots of space 
to work with.
