Danny, it is great to work your puzzles again Exclamation Exclamation Very Happy Very Happy

This was a typical NR style puzzle requiring seven steps for me to complete; I have no idea what may have been unnecessary.

Hello Ted,

It's nice to be back and I'm glad that you are enjoying the BBDB/NR puzzles. I have several more waiting in the wing.

I don't know the shortest number of steps, but my solver used several fun steps that I suspect you encountered as well.

Regards, Danny
