Last Monday, a mailman in Cambridge, Md. found a sample invitation for our wedding, addressed to me, in a blue mailbox in front of his post office.
At least, that’s what I assumed happened. From that point, I have no idea. The invitation has not arrived at our home and more than a week has passed.
I had the enevlope and its contents weighed, so I thought we had more than enough postage. The return address was also our home so shouldn’t we have gotten it back of there was not enough?
I really have no idea what to make of the missing invitation. I hope it’s not a sign that starfish, metallic papers or any other elements don’t take kindly to being mailed.
I guess I’ll have to test mail another one. Stay tuned.

The USPS seems to route all important mail through a sorting facility in outer Mongolia for special handling. Every time I’m actually waiting on a piece of mail it takes two weeks to get here.

I might comment that *cough* there’s an advantage in writing addresses the way the PO wants them, not the way you want them.
http://www.melissadata.com/lookups/addressverify.asp does a good job, or the free shipping assistant software on USPS.com is another option.

I am pretty certain that Don’s comment means that he is volunteering to address all the envelopes. What a swell guy!
