As I was collecting the mail the other day, there was a manilla envelope hiding was in the back, behind the phone bill and a Home Depot flyer. Hmm, what’s this? I don’t believe I’m expecting any trades. eBay? I haven’t won anything recently? What could it be? Then I remembered. It’s my prize package […]

On my way out the door to run a bunch of errands this afternoon, I stopped at the mailbox, and what did I find? Not one, not two, but three fat manilla bubble mailers. Hmmm, I wonder what they could be? Oh, the torture! Also, while running my errands, I tracked down a 2009 […]
