I think the above is a clue.  My best guess is they've taken a wait and see strategy.

This must be rough for them.  Mine were already in their teens when I was
first seperated from the flock.

Understood ... I think.  Hard to have much confidence these days about
these sorts of things.

Heh, heh.  I think that is more to remind myself than an actual state of
being.  However I am not going to complain about it all or at least not
much ... or at least not here.  Speaking for my family I think it all
worked out as best as these thing ever work out so perhaps there is truth
in there somewhere.  Offhand I think there is.

Sounds perfect.

Excellent.  I like when that happens.

Life is good,
Maurice
