    I'm so excited to receive the mail from you with the fantastic clock on the envelope. I'll do my best to wait til Leap Year's Day to open it, although I'm absolutely terrible at delaying gratification. Really nice Feb. 29 faux cancellations!

    Thank you for the wonderful Leap Day clock(s). Love the one on the tissue paper--very lovely. And the erasure poem, too. Marvelous celebration!

    Ah, and I'm a bit slow (appropriate for leap year). I just figured out that Pridie Kalendas Martius means "last day before March" -- thanks for furthering my wobegone education!

    First, thank you for the gorgeous envelope--is that from a painting of yours? Really nice. And yes, I would LOVE to participate in your found poem project! I look forward to playing with this piece of text you sent!

    OMG I love those stamps so much it HURTS! If that was US postage I'd buy them out and use them forever. Thanks for the link!
    I got your caution tape mail, THANK YOU! How did you do that? It was pretty cool.
    I've been out of contact on IUOMA for the last couple of weeks here because of long hours at work and resulting exhaustion. Our move to new building is complete and am adequately settled in so I'm now on vacation for some r and r. I'll get my sanity back and get back into IUOMA groove soon, just have to file for tax extension today and then things will feel more under control.
    Since on vacation only have old iPad to use for Internet, can't send private messages on this site with I pad so hoping public comment will go through.
    Thanks again and talk soon!

    Oh Phillip thank you so much for the excellent paper towel Banana Mail! And Found poem! I have to admit I am ignorant about those funny little yellow characters Kevin and Stuart, evidently they are extremely FOND of bananas, even red ones! I am going to google them pretty quick before I fall even further off of the pop-culture map! And I do know who Batman is and your envelope and stamp are great! I am old enough to remember Adam West!

    Phillip thank you so much for teh beautiful Monkey "First Day of Issue" PC! I've never received one of those before -- and the monkey is adorable! And the Charley Harper bird PC is also very lovely.

    FinnBadger thanks so much for the terrific card -- I love using text from old books. I like the copper metalic paint you used in the found poem, too. Your envelope fascinates me. I was going to look up the person on the stamp(the woman, not Lincoln) before I wrote this but I forgot. Beautiful photo.

    Oh Lovely Card FinnBadger! I did not yet have one of your marbled pieces and I'd be happy to have more--very beautiful! The digital collage is fascinating as well -- they look like images from microscope slides....great to hear from you, thanks very much!

    Hi FB! I've just been to the Eduardo Munez event in London and saw some of your mailart being opened (but I've forgotten the guy's name and he's an actor in the film - sorry!). It was so exciting and such a fab gathering of people. A wonderful collection or envelopes = almost too many to take in. The film is due to be finished in March next year I think. Can't wait! So good that we could be part of it.

    Hey there. I just received your "this banana was never here" card the other day and it cracked me up.  Thanks for sending some humor in the mail.  Hope all is well with you.  Peace.  PS,  I posted it on my page.

    Phillip, thanks for the collage -- such a lot of stuff to look at! Love the vintage postcard, which is on its way back out to you-know-who! With additions! Great to hear from you!

    Thanks Phillip for the surprise ripe banana - it survived the rigours of the international mail without too much damage. The stamps were great too - very mouthwatering  :-)

    Thank you for your wonderful mail! The great Fruit envelope and Kwanzaa stamps I received last Tuesday (wow, such a thoughtful and nice surprise!), and the Moon / Eclipse landed yesterday at my place.
    The Eclipse I just posted here, in the 'circles' group; the Fruit I will post some day in the 'nog meer post' blog.
