OK, I know I'm a bit late to the party here, but Betsey, 20 POUNDS IS GREAT!!
Congratulations!!
Interesting about Mr. W's departure? Any word? Sounds very much like something my H would do...(that is, if only he were able to leave word with the cat that he was taking off, since we have no kids).
Anyway. Patience. You're on your own good path these days.
