Thanks for the replies everybody. It is appreciated. You both dropped some perspective on my plate and gave me some stuff to chew on. I had not considered either idea as what might be happening. Mostly I have been bracing for some kind of impact. I tend to expect stuff to go horribly wrong when things get calm and quiet, like the calm before the storm, you know? Your comments help make me feel better about this and have helped steer my thoughts away from the utmost negative to something more balanced and realistic. Ya'll rock.
Thanks again
