Thank you for the kind wishes, Megan.

And to all of you, thanks for the ideas. I sent my friend what I had already. The housewarming is tomorrow. About 10 minutes after I sent out that email I lost power in the second floor of the house, including the office. I still don't have it back. I have to figure out what's wrong but I had to come into work too so I'm sneaking a look at the Mudcat while I'm here.

I will keep an eye on this thread to see what else crops up. Like you, hesperis, I am keeping this thread.

I guess it's time to unleash the power of testosterone on that power problem!
