John and Gail both referred me to the same resource. But I think the maintenance plan I included in the link shows that I do back up the log...every time I back up the db...daily.

So, if I want to shrink the log space once (to see if its current size is an anomaly...) how do I do that?

Never mind...I figured it out. But the shrunken logfile is still pretty large. Is that normal? It's now just a gig larger than the 4 gig data file....
