Yep that has helped round out my concern and impatience. I would be/am very excited to have someone that I have trusted for years in place there however he stopped posting nearly 2 weeks before the meeting so it leaves more to the imagination than it would had he dropped off afterwards. Hopefully he is off living life on vacation - all is good on this note
Ultimately when we know nothing that in and of itself can become something, especially when it feels like there is a countdown to what I do not know
