Same, Mamie. The past week or so I have been visiting the website at earlier times while getting ready to make the move back from TX to WA, and I keep running into the board being down for several hours in the mornings. I am kind of scared, thinking we maybe should send prayers for some techie admin person in distress?
Oh, and we are back home today, so should be settling into a routine soon.
