Thanks. I will get to work. Well, I will put the moms at the taekwondo 
school to work. :-)

I pondered your's and Scott's points for quite some time, even talking 
it over with David, who has more of a head for business than I do. I 
eventually figured that while it *might* be worth doing, it *certainly* 
didn't warrant all that time thinking about it. Best I could come up 
with was to give us an out with a limited time offer. Now let's just 
hope that Diana doesn't scream... :-)
