Apr 1st, 2006 Full Mailbox
As if I needed a clearer picture of how busy my life is at the moment: The Wife™ and I returned home tonight from a church prayer meeting and (finally) checked our mailbox. (You know, the postal service one … by the side of the road … non-electronic.) It’s probably been a month since we last got the mail.
On top of the half-foot stack of mail was a friendly notice saying our mailbox was too full, and that all mail would be held (as of 3/22) at the local branch office for ten days; and after that, returned to sender. Yikes! Ten days from the notice is, uhm, today!
You want to know the irony of it all? The entire stack of mail we pulled tonight was, as you may have guessed, ALL JUNK MAIL.
So, not only was I reminded how busy we really are, but also how much I hate regular mail. The real question now is, do we actually care if all our mail is returned?

Yes. You care. People you love still send snail mail. Even people you don’t love, but must pay attention to, like the IRS, still use this archaic form of communication. So, take some motherly advice and check your postal box regularly.

Yes, nowadays, when almost everyone has the internet access and email, we often forget that the usual mail exists :)
