Greetings from New York

I know that this is getting SO old. I was not going to post about this anymore, but, well, I just feel the need to share after yesterday's mail.

First off, my mystery pen pal IS who I suspected he was. And he's done with postcards it seems. He's sending letters now, with his name and return address included on the envelope. Hi Gregory!

If you recall, he told me in his last postcard that he was moving to New York.

It appears that he has done so. This is the envelope postmarked December 30th.



The letter let me know why he moved (his dad was transferred), and reminded me that I "order my lunch very quickly, to take back to your office so that you could get your job done and go home." It also talked more about the old days, who all had worked here over the years, went over his routines and mine, and wished me a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Not really blog worthy, but nice to finally know for sure who was writing me.

But yesterday I received a small package from Gregory.


With another similar if slightly longer letter.


The content was similar, although there was a lot more mention of my "husband" who works in the adjacent building. Ironically he asks if I know Denise, who also works in that building, and who, (if you've known me for any length of time, you already know that she) is the woman that my "husband" trashed our marriage for. Ah Gregory, you have no idea! I DO know Denise. Gregory hopes both my "husband" and I will still be working here when he visits in August, and he signs off with "Enjoy your 2015."

But oddly the package also included all this:


He still likes casinos!


I'm not exactly sure what to make of it, but I do now know where to go play keno if I'm in Verona, New York and where to score a hand dipped vanilla milkshake when in Evans Mills. Plus I'm betting the boots are on sale right now at the DSW in Watertown.

 Lastly, there was this:

I have a feeling he'd like me to choose and mail it back to him. If I mailed it today, it might make it back before the big game, but I'm thinking that wouldn't be a very good idea.

This is just completely cray-cray. I do not like Gregory and I'm glad he's in New York. But, yeah, good tip on the boots. Who doesn't need boots? Especially on sale. Helpful, ol' Gregory.

Now be even *more* helpful and stay in NY.

Love you.
