5 years ago, I sent a ball to Fred Bradley (say it together now: "WHO??") It never came back, which is the price you pay with through the mail. Well, two weeks ago, a package shows up with my own pre-printed address. I stared at it for a while, since I knew I hadn't sent one out in over a year. I was like a kid at Christmas! When I opened it, there was a nice note from his wife, saying that Mr. Bradley isn't doing to well. He must have gotten my package, and put it on a shelf in the garage. She had just come across it while cleaning, had him sign it, and returned it to me.
How cool is that!!

That is COOLER than cool! Congratulations on the return! Hopefully, it brought a smile to a struggling Mr. Bradley's face as well!
I am in a mail drought, but I haven't sent anything out in a couple of weeks
One extreme of excitement when you get a return in the mailbox, another extreme of disappointment when all you get is bills.
