WDYLL 2020

I must say, Alfred, that you become more handsome every year.

i think it's stress.

yeah after spending a very rough two weeks in the hospital this summer about a week after I came home and mentally settled into the idea of my life being radically different going forward my hair started just falling out like pine needles whenever I touched it. so I decided to buzz it down pretty short and when I looked in the mirror it was like "uh oh"

months later it hasn't fully come back, though it mostly has, but man! not what I needed at the time!

After chemo and radiation, when my hair thinned but never went totally away, it all came back thicker, which I don't mind on my head....but jesus, eeverywhere else, too?

Alfred looks great! I'll admit to being curious about your choice in masks though.

Thanks, gents. Pandemic's got me walking like Wordsworth in the Lake District.

This is TMI but I started losing hair to stress when I was 15 and that is primarily why I have short hair now!
It's very real, don't let anyone gaslight you into thinking you are imagining it like they did to me.

More photos of Alfred in front of walls of books please.

This was a few months back, when you could go out with a shirt flapping open in the breeze... when you could go out at all, in fact. A park in Orpington, daughter taking the snap.

Man at H&M

(i have the same t-shirt)

The Wakefield branch of H&M in fact!

(I don't normally keep track of where I buy t-shirts, but that one was an emergency purchase as sweltering July '18 heat + no a/c on the train meant contents of overnight bag were no longer sufficient).

Lovely photo.

(wondering now what happens in wakefield. matt lives there now, has a wakefield postcode anyway. oh, sculpture park.)

Just used a camera for the first time, hope I did it right

Everyone looks amazingly well for the end of 2020 I have to say!

Alfred I quite like that grey jacket you have on in your earlier post

Alfred and MJ significantly upping the game here in our quarantine year.

Thanks! I wore it not for formality's sake but b/c last Tuesday was unusually cool for South Florida (a bone-chilling high of 62 in the afternoon).

Old Lunch you captured the moment! Haha

It's a fairly accurate portrait of my 2020 psyche, it's true.

Thanks! Oscar Wilde, John Cheever & Virginia Woolf almost too on the nose?

especially if you notice Wilde's face.

I caught a meerkat out on the golf course last August.

saw a Make America Great Again sticker on a Cadilac

His hair was perfect.

Alfred, not to be a pædo, but MAGA is a two syllable acronym, so 'A MAGA sticker on a Cadillac' is a little less clunky

'very happy' is a great look for you, pp

Some discernible signs of ageing would be reassuring

These were maybe better in colour, but there was an alarming shift in skintone in 48hr...
