Mmmm - caaaake. (Homer voice)
Whew! 28. One of those significant milestones in life. Sort of. Good enough for chocolate cake, though! Thanks to Jen for a great birthday dinner and cake. And a new phone, book and espresso machine.
Thanks also to all those people in my life that have shared significant milestones with me, or vice versa. It was good to be reminded recently of all the great stuff that I've been a part of in the past year or so, such as Melissa's wedding, Eli's birth, recording with my band, etc. etc. As you can see in the previous post, we had a few of you around last night to make me feel older. Pete is the only one older than me (by 2 months).
Anyway, I'd like to share a few interesting things about my job delivering the mail. Before I do, let me assure you that I by no means enjoy the job as such, and any anecdotes concerning it cannot be used to convince me otherwise. That said, today I got my first gift as a postman. I think perhaps this resident is an angel in disguise. Not a very good disguise, since two of the four times I've seen him he hasn't been wearing a shirt. Today he announced "Why wait till Christmas?" and produced a bottle of 10 year old Aberlour whiskey. That cheered me up for awhile!
Now let me tell you about some of my more interesting customers. I happen to deliver mail to some very famous people. The godfather of soul, Mr. James Brown; rap artist R. Kelly; and actor R. Redford all live on the same street! The rather unfortunately named A. Dick lives at number 68. Finally, my nemesis H. Flin is the Queen of Sweepstakes. Her record is 33 pieces of junk mail in one day. If you are to believe the envelopes, she is definitely the luckiest person on this side of the Atlantic, as long as she sends in the confirmation number by next week. Interesting side note, most sweepstakes competitions seem to be postmarked from Canada, Las Vegas, or Kansas City.
Well, that's about it from me. By the way, final mixing of the new Ladybirds Can Fly album should be complete next week sometime. It's sounding good. We'll let you know when CD's are available.
