<p>As some of you know, I had taken off for a few weeks and asked the post office to hold my mail.

I didn't think too much about the small amount of mail they handed me after a two week hold, but, I thought, whatever.</p>
<p>The last ten days has ended up being a bit spotty on mail deliveries, many days with no deliveries at all. Not even the ubiquitous junk mail/advertisements . . .</p>
<p>Yesterday I opened my mailbox and it was full to the brim with bundled mail and on the top bundle was my Authorization to Hold Mail form . . . :)</p>
<p>I'm assuming that now regular delivery will resume.</p>
<p>A big thanks to all of you who's mail art has been patiently waiting at the Anaheim, USPS Holiday Station; Mim Golub Scalin, Claire Dinsmore, Rani Solhaug, Rose Becard, Laurence Gillot, Guido Vermeulen, Sara Grob, An U., Nadine Wendell, XX Jones, Jon Foster and the creator of the mystery envelope [anonymous?] — we'll try to figure out the creator of that work later.<br/><br/></p>

<p><span style="font-family: courier new,courier;">Perhaps do to my unfamiliarity with the Union's website, I could not find you as a member. Do you have an IUOMA user name other than your given moniker?<br/></span></p>
