FYI

Though this will make no sense to some and only a little to others, to a few of you it will make complete sense and it's just easier to post than to contact all of you independently.

The response I got:

"I will call you sometime soon."

That's good, right?

Acknowledgment of the offer and semi-commitment to using it?

For now I'll take it as a good sign in light of the rest of the response to my email (which I will not post).

I shall let you know if anything more comes of it all. (And thanks for the prayers! It's been an easy "wait & see"!)
