For the next three days, I have obligations that won't allow me the time to have fun here. But I'll be back before the weekend. With schedules overbooked, everybody here wants to have a breather, so more than one plan is being put on hold for the time being.

You can look to receive that Mail-Art I sent off as early as this coming week, but don't be surprised if it's slow in coming. Our post office here appears to be choosy in some way I cannot fathom. We'll see how they'll play along,…
