My dad mailed me this article about a man who wanted to brighten up mailboxes with more than bills. Jim chose a random family in North Dakota and wrote to them for years, they had a fun time trying to guess who he was and enjoyed getting his cards. Would you like something like this, or would it bug you that you didn't know "Jim"? I think I would like it, I wonder if Jessica and I could do something like this next with our love of the postal system...

I love this story. He was pretty unselfish to be sending postcards to the abyss with no reply. It seems though that it was the consistency that they loved, not necessarily the one-off, which might have been taken for a mistake. We are good at consistency, well fairly, but I would miss the conversation.
