Thanks to all who responded to my inquiry about Verisign locking me into 
their services within 30 or 60 days prior to my domain expiring.
After reading all the emails, I've come to the conclusion that I was wrong 
about this.  I probably had the facts mixed up with not being able to 
transfer your domain 30 or 60 days AFTER renewal.

So I took most peoples advice to just go ahead and try to transfer my 
domain anyway - and it worked.  It took one day.  Yesterday I signed up 
with DirectNIC.com and asked for a domain transfer from Verisign.  After a 
couple of verification emails from both Verisign and DirectNIC, today I 
received a very polite email from Verisign saying that the transfer was 
approved and they were sorry to see me go.

Again, thanks to all for your input.  Now I can put the Maalox away as you 
all saved me a lot of heartburn.
