Yay, my copy of the letter finally arrived by snail-mail!  I now have documented proof that I'm not completely nuts.    :D
@KathyLauren
Dear Kathy,
As @Steph2.0 stated ... you are no more nuts than the rest of us!!!  ;)

Terrific news about FINALLY getting your hard-copy letter.

Wow, like I say regarding HRT ... "Patience is Required"
Was it the postal system or the doctors office that was responsible for the delay?

Soon we can start a countdown for you
...SQUEE for sure!!

Thank you for sharing your good news.
Hugs,
Danielle

Thanks.  I guess that was a hint to post the picture.  This is from Centre Stage Theatre, a local community theatre, where I do lights and sound and my wife is on stage.


The first is the cast and crew photo.  I am in the back row, right.  My wife is in front of me.  The second is from the dress rehearsal.  Martha (character played by my wife, in olive dress) has just delivered a zinger to Daria (black and gold dress).  Photos by Charlotte McBride.

There is one second-hand clothing store in town that has great clothes at great prices.  For more than a week, they have had a bright green coat on display outside.  My wife commented on it every time we went by.  So, last week, I suggested, as we drove home from our errands, that we should investigate it.  You never know, it might be her size.

It wasn't, but it was my size!!!  Damn, it looked good!

So, today, it was the right temperature to wear it.  Here are a couple of pictures of me on the way to a local restaurant.

@KathyLauren
Dear Kathy:
You are correct, that bright green coat looks lovely, and you look lovely wearing it.   Hopefully your wife is not upset that it was your size and not hers!!! 

I absolutely love your "Game's Afoot" cast picture, you and your wife look quite nice in your costumes...

Thank you for treating your followers to these great photos.
Hugs and well wishes,
Danielle

Kathy,

Thumbs up!  You look terrific in that coat!

Thank you for sharing your pictures, of the performance cast that includes you and your wife, the astrophotography, and of you in this nice new coat!

Although the photo was taken on the doorstep of the restaurant next door to Hazel's, that is not the store I got the green coat at.  A coat like that at Hazel's would have cost three times what I paid for it!.

I saw a scarf that would go great with your new jacket Kathy. I just have to find it again ::)

But now old friends they're acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well something's lost, but something's gained
In living every day.

My wife and I were invited to Christmas dinner with some theatre friends.  Everyone there was from our recent play: two actors, two techies, and one director.  All are really lovely people, nice to be around, and I would work with any of them again.

Our host was a wonderful cook, and the quantity and quality of food was staggering.  Being vegan, my wife and I didn't sample the meat dish, but there were plenty of vegan dishes for us, as well as traditional English plum pudding and numerous other desserts.

The conversation flowed easily, even for me.  (I tend to shut down when more than four people are present.)  Among other topics, we gossiped about who are the good and bad directors to work for, whom to avoid, etc.

My wife and I don't do Christmas in ant recognizable sense.  But we do like to take advantage of social opportunities, and this was a good one.

I hope everyone else had an equally enjoyable Christmas.
