MDU,

^^ That is mindreading on your part. You got a decent response to the good morning greeting...that is a positive. As for the lunch, there may have been a conflict in H's schedule. I don't think it had anything to do with the OW.

Remember he just got a promotion and is probably trying to get acclimated to his new responsibilities.

Yeah...just turn the focus back on you and GAL activities for the time being.
