Thank you for your mail

The fantastic cards keep pouring in. We had some seriously far-flung ones since last report. We also had quite a few first-timers getting on the wall, always nice. Time is running short, so get yours to us!

The Travelling Cambells continue to lap the planet, checking in twice from Ireland and Scotland. They also made it to Costa Rica, Italy and Denmark. A strange set of cards too, everything from a baby pig’s backside from Finland to a woman in California.










The Schiebels of Littleton, Colorado went all the way down to Patagonia and thought to send us one from there. We thank them and look forward to imposing on their hospitality again sometime soon.

Emily Doerr’s new job (which is not new by this point but we kind of live in a vacuum) sent her to Vegas, baby! What is says on the card stays on the card.

Janice Deering is doing well. She sent us two from the beaches Costa Rica, where she was kicking back. We’ve been meaning to get there for years ourselves, it looks incredible.

“Kevin Coughlan continues his hilarious postage onslaught with depictions of “Kick the Can with Dad,” Information Superhighway” and the “Wyoming Riding Mower.” These ones continue to remind us of how backwards we believed our town to be, until we came to Africa, of course.









Our buddies Zack and Shannon checked in twice from Jackson, Wyoming. We are surprised they are not sending us notes from all over the planet too, per their usual.

Louise Gignoux “decided to finally add to our collection" (others should take note). She was riding her jeep through Moab which she does when not shooshing down slopes in Jackson or summering in France. Easy livin’.

Amir Fouad, of Bridger Gondola fame, sent us one from the Matterhorn. On the back he reminds us to root against Algeria in the World Cup after they ousted his Egyptian squad. Fear not, being in a neighboring country and seeing a bit of their fans recently, this will not be a problem at all (especially as they play the U.S. of A.). At least he still has the US and Switzerland for whom to root, the perks of being a tri-citizen.

Not to be outdone by the Travelling Cambells in the bizarre department, Brother Brian in Scotland sent one with ridiculous public pronouncements by graffiti artists along with a bizarre card depicting a bagpipe playing pig, which is on some building in Edinburgh in lieu of a gargoyle, apparently. The coup de gras, however, was his “Sam and Mark in 40 years” card. Kudos.










Cousin Mikey and Sarah were apparently hanging out with the Kennedys, who have their own postcards. They will have less time for such high-jinx now that they have welcomed James McCarthy to their clan, although they will probably spend the summer on the Cape so maybe we are wrong.

Kallie and Katie Hannon were hanging out with aunt Cindy in New Hampshire but sent a postcard that said “Maine” on it. We think they are trying to start a debate between the couple composed of a New Hampshirite and a Mainer about which is better. This is one of our favorite topics.

Finally, our pals Nic and Jimmi got on the board in a big way. They sent us not one, not two, not three, but eight cards from South Africa. Impressive.
