Thanks, PG. I think reality is setting in for me. W wants nothing to do with me at this point. Feel pretty used and abused, but am not going down the self-pity route.

I will survive. Will be a very different person, to be sure, which is a bit unfortunate. My new improvements are good, to be sure, but, you know what, I have always been a nice, caring kind of guy.

Maybe somebody will recognize that someday.
