Re-Organizing many videos on the YouTube channel - could be problems?

 Greetings,

Starting today (6/17/2025) there will be a lot of changing and moving of the videos on the YouTube channel.  It really needs to be better organized and to have description data updated.  I am told by the good folks at YouTube, these changes should not cause any problems with existing links or people accessing the videos.  

If you notice problems, please let me by commenting here or using the CONTACT US page on our companion website.

Thanks for your patience while I get things tidied up a bit.

Cheers!

ALMOST A MILLION VIEWS ? ? ?

 This morning while looking through the analytics of the channel I spotted this statistic:

Your channel has gotten 971,706 views so far

I never realized that I was so close to getting a MILLION views!  That is amazing and exciting.

Will you be the 1 millionth viewer?  I will have to look and see if there is a way I can determine who that person will be.

Cheers!
