I can't see anything in the way for foam forming at the top, but it's not designed to be transparent.    I'll give it a little more time then I'll look inside.  If it looks like a no-go I'll contact you for some "rescue" yeast.

I will be around after work Mon and Tues (I think) after five, and I 
have an answering machine, 743-6596.  I stay up until 9:30 or 10 or so.  
Will be in Warren Co at a 90th b-day party on Wed, and at LBC on Thu 
evening for THC BOD mtg.  (Is that enough abbreviations and acronyms for 
one sentence?)

These are more common than people usually realize or talk about -- both 
the "stealth fermentation" thing and the "it didn't start and I had to 
re-pitch" thing.  Neither is anything to worry a whole lot about, and 
usually turn out fine.

And when once in a while something turns out really abominably 
not-fine..... like the time I just barely bumped an empty carboy into 
the secondary full of luscious and wonderful barleywine after it had 
been aging for almost a year..... well oops, &*#$!* and we live to brew 
another day.  Because it's simply a really fun and rewarding hobby no 
matter what.
