Hey GAG, Great news on the table tennis front. So glad you are having fun and enjoying yourself with it. I think it's great that this is your time for table tennis without XH.
Awesome to have XH's assistance with the mystery package. I like the idea that the two of you are a joint force in sorting this. It highlights your compatibility and your joint ability to problem solve.
I always enjoy reading the latest on the package...the whole thing makes compelling reading....could be on your way to writing a novel here! I'd like to see it all mapped out with clues and suspects!
I can so relate to everything you're saying in your final para about the anger, the deep love and the permanent friendship role. I'm hearing you!! I'll be interested to see if you initiate the movie (I'm thinking as I type...what's to lose anyway? That's what friends do.......initiate invitations an some are accepted and some are not. Good luck!
