Well I straightened out the problem with the accidental revocation.  I 
copied the REAL private key to my home computer and imported it.  There 
were still problems (probably not with the keys) so I un-installed GPG 
and Thunderbird and reinstalled them and re-imported the private key. 
Since then everything has worked.
