mail call.

and can i just say that today was a great day for mail?

1 postcard made out of the cardboard instructions from a monopoly game with a prose poem called "baseball in the americas chapter one" written on it. it's not signed, but i can only assume it's from joe chicago, who is (um, god willing) on a bike and headed straight for guatemala.

1 box from omaha including a lot of good old books (hello, raymond carver), a tiny radio boombox, a drawing of a bear (?), and a potato masher. plus there's a little note (on the back of the bear drawing, naturally) explaining who all the gifts are for. like, the books are for anne, and the potato masher ("not washed!") is for megan, and the bear drawing is "for amy, maybe?"
yeah, i really love that there was a moment in omaha where monen was browsing around at a thrift store and saw a potato masher and thought "megan!"

thanks! i love you, maybe.
