High point of the day: finding your cd in the mailbox! Thanks a million! Looking forward to listening to it, a lot.
Made me smile. I started writing back and soon realized my message was too long for Twitter.
I'm always amazed at how the postal service works. You're the second international cd that I know made it this year. For the first one, I started humming (and here I quote my e-mail to another friend).Glad it made it over the seas and through the city to Someone's* house it goes. The post knows the way to carry the cd through snow and rain and heat...
Umm... I'll stop singing now.
But really. Within a couple of days of me going to the post office, friends in Minnesota and New York were telling me they'd received them. Another week and we're adding Norway and Hong Kong. I know it's everyday, but in some ways I've gotten so used to the exchange of digital information that the movement of physical objects is crazy cool.
All a super-long-winded way of saying, thanks for letting me know the cd made it.
Note to self for next year when I'm wondering about the hours of getting the mailing together. This is why.

And then today I came home to TWO e-mails about the letter.
First, was a response to one of the e-mails here. Which makes me happy because its from the friend who I haven't met face-to-face. So it makes the world feel a little more intimate to have that connection.
And the other was a real it's a small world notice. Backstory: I did a homestay with a family outside of DC, almost 5 years ago. They get the cd. Their niece was visiting, read the letter and listening to the cd. She noticed my address and realized she lives on my block. (Actually, she's the next block over, but still, between me and the train.) I mean, I know I live in the city and there are people around, but still. Connections. Man. Crazy.
