So I paid all the bills today and wrote the check number and the date on each paid envelope and put them in the file box and put the vintage car stamps on each letter and even used the stupid bear picture return labels that Jan gets free from somewhere, probably a bonus for buying $700 in Barbie shoes or something. I collect up the mail and I get in the truck and go up to the garage at the top of the road and visit Murray and figure that I'm going to need help from somebody to get the two grandfather clocks out cuz I shouldn't just drag them out by their feet cuz something could go wrong and I could see the future.
That was the bus content.
Then I took today's mail out of our mailbox and went to town.
I bought some stuff and, on the way home I swung (is that a word?) by the Big post office to mail the mail. I threw the mail in the mailbox. 15 minutes later, as I am driving into my driveway I look down and see all the bills that I had written and today's mail was gone.
I had mailed the mail.
So I called the post office and explained to the mailman there that I had mailed the mail. "You mailed the mail?" Yes, I had mailed the mail that people had already mailed to me. He said that it happened all the time and that I would get my old mail with my new mail tomorrow. He asked me if I still had the mail that I had meant to mail today and I admitted that I had come home with it. He laughs.
He says, "Don't tell your wife. Did you keep the junk mail?" Yes. "Just give her that and tell her it's all you got today."
So the mail man also gives good marriage advice.
That is what I did today.
