Your key comes thru fine for me Jerry.

I have found very flaky availability on many of the key servers.  
They will work one day and be unavailable the next.  I think
the whole infrastructure if falling into disrepair.

In addition, a couple days ago I got a signed message from
PGP Global Directory Verification which had a key that was 
not found.  I suspected a scam and did nothing with it after
attempting to verify it via an on-line (web based) key server
dialog.
