Some great updates of you and your beard Tom. I'm really glad you're back to fully enjoying it again, and that you have managed to understand and accept the negative comments for what they were. I really like all the braided and bearded looks. Bet they are great fun to do and show people, plus they make you look a bit like a Dothraki!!

Love the thanksgiving dinner photo, you all look very happy. Plus I kind of love the fact that your new colleague could basically just show up and be accepted as a member of the family for a day! That says it all to me about the kind of guy you are. But do we need to call in advance or can we just show up anytime??? Take care man. Matt.
