snail mail

Those of you who know me, know that one of my favorite things is snail mail. Good ol' fashioned snail mail. There is something about a handwritten letter or post card, your name & address, the smudge of the ink, the stamp, the sentiment, the effort, the places it has already been. Don't get me wrong, I like to send mail just a much as I like to get it, perhaps even more. It's a good way to make someones day, from where ever you, and they, are. Honestly...it's one of the best deals around... for less than 50 cents you can post your card from point a to point b, and within days, voila.... special delivery!

My friend, Teddy, just Quit His Job as a paralegal and has moved across the pond where he is about to start adventures as crew aboard a sailboat. First stop the Mediterranean Sea... Second stop, a voyage across the Atlantic (ok, so I oversimplified his trip...). Not bad for shirking responsibilities....

More on Teddy later. For now...

Here is the lone quote that arrived, from Teddy, in my post box today. Special Delivery...

"The true harvest of my daily life is somewhat as intangible and indescribable
as the tints of morning and evening. It is a little star dust caught,
a segment of the rainbow which I have clutched."
