Dan - I'll have my friend contact you directly, but I'm not sure how to do that! I suppose that you have a gmail email address ... how would I find that address? As an alternative, my gmail address is halo.in.jeopardy at gmail. If you can send me an email, I'll forward your email to my friend, who will be in touch with you!
