The Postman is My New Best Friend

This has to be some kind of world record - today I got nothing but good mail. REALLY good mail.

1) A belated wedding gift from my cousin Kayla, who lives in Sitka, Alaska. She got us some very cool and thoughtful Alaska-made merchandise, and wrote a nice card telling us, among other things, that SHE'S GETTING MARRIED IN JULY! I'm so excited for her. It was great to hear from her, it's been a long time.

2) Some genealogy info on my Koch ancestors from a woman I was put in contact with through a co-worker. She's from St. Louis and did this for me as a favor, having never met me. The info she found is fantastic, and solves some mysteries I haven't been able to crack or confirm. I won't bore you non-genealogy freaks with the details, but Dad, you're going to be very excited!

Not a credit card offer in sight. It's the little things in life, people, the little things. Rock on.
