Congratulations, katlaughing!

You've discovered the de-cluttering method of sticking things in an envelope and shipping them off to some poor unsuspecting soul! (Tom thanks you for the book -- I'm looking forward to reading it, too -- we didn't have that particular Curmudgeon collection.)

I've been sending clippings, etc. to select friends over the years, occasional books, too. When I commented that sticking things in envelopes and mailing them off was how I cleaned off my table, another friend asked if I sent them to anyone in particular or just to addresses picked at random from the phone book.

What a concept! "Hi, you don't know me, but here are some interesting things off my table that I thought you might enjoy..."
