Quite a while ago, I signed up for the USPS Informed Delivery service. Although it’s imperfect, it does come in handy as I receive an email notification every day.
When I occasionally open these emails, I am ‘informed’ about the mail pieces and packages that will soon appear. The correspondence supplies a picture of first-class mail and I even know who has sent it.
All right. Given that this is December and considering the title, you’re going to think this is about a ritualistic end-of-the-year review along with the why-do-we-do-this practice of resolutions for the next.
It is not.
I’ll soon be traveling back west (I will never get used to saying that) to spend a couple of days reconnecting with my daughter, her husband, and their four kids, most (All?) of whom are no longer such very small people.
While looking forward to this always-too-short trip, I ruminated. Don’t we all.
Anyway, it’s common that we’ll watch a couple of movies together with popcorn and if lucky, ice cream. Last year, we watched a movie called, Croods: A New Age. If there are no children in your gatherings, you might have missed this one as it probably compares less favorably to things like, well, Die Hard: With a Vengeance.
Hey Everybody - You're Invited no matter where you live!
Here's a quick invitation to those in and around Cincinnati. Lowe's currently has small poinsettias for $1.00 (YES - that is ONE dollar). They're small but kinda' cute, really.
