PS--Check.

Dear Manny, #L-655301, Stillwater State Prison, Pod 7

According to Lauren's recent blog entry, she is determined to bring mail back.  Much like Justin Timberlake brought sexy back.

She and I chatted for some time last night, via fb chat, and let me tell you, the irony was not lost on me.

She went on and on about letters she used to write and the various pens and stationery she used.  She wrote fan letters and letters to boyfriends from camp.  She wrote to the neighbor across the street.  She composed eloquent letters to Time magazine about the state of the ozone layer and was pen pals with a former President's daughter.  She wrote on scraps and attached them to balloons she got after eating dinner with her parents at Applebees.  She threw messages in a bottle into the Zumbro River.  She corresponded with some petty thieves in lock-up.

This was all discussed because Lauren wants mail.  She loves mail.  So, going forward, I am signing her up for everything which promises contact by mail.  That new basement remodel?  Check.  Those college painters?  Check.  Bathroom refinishers?  Check.  Charity pick-ups?  Check.  And she will even get a free plastic bag to put her donations in.  Policeman's Association for Safety and Bike Locks? Check.
