hey Tracey,

thanks for posting that video - I have no idea how to do that kind of stuff, I'm not very computer savvy, so hats off!

TG: I'm not too savvy, either, because I never noticed this comment! I didn't realize I had them set up for moderation, so I assumed I wasn't getting any comments.

And anyway, I see that you've since figured out how to embed videos, so hooray!
