So here I am, sitting in my bedroom mailing
books everywhere in the world. I don't know how many orders there have been.
Well over a hundred. I'm taking them in the order they were received, and I'm
down to 61 orders. There's a stack of books and envelopes on the desk. On the
corner is my pile of goodies to put in the books. Some of the stuff I put in the
books today includes:
- Ginko Tree leaves from the tree Frank
Lloyd Wright planted when he built his home in 1898
- Coasters from Timothy O'Toole's in
Chicago
- Counterfeit money that children make
and try to pass off to my daughter who works at a small coffee shop and
store.
- Various music CDs, mostly from
Talking Taco Music.
- The Cohiba cigar bands from the cigars
I smoked this summer.
- Chewing gum
- A Bit O' Honey candy bar
- Various suckers and a weird coconut
candy thing from Mexico.
Tonight I raided the kitchen, so someone's
getting packets of Chai Tea and a honey sesame oriental seasoning mix packet.
I'm enjoying looking at all of your homes. I've
discovered that Microsoft's Virtual Earth and Google Maps are not always exactly
accurate, but I get close. Here's a couple that interested me tonight.
This guy lives right on Pismo beach. I'd heard of
Pismo beach but had no idea where it was.
And here is someone who lives in a building just a
couple of blocks away from the Capital in D.C.
61 orders to go. A few keep
trickling in, but I'm making progress. I'm going to do this every night until I
get them all done. It's fun in a weird sort of way. A new experience. I will
tell you that shipping things is lot of work. If I wasn't stuffing the pages
with stuff, I'd die from boredom.
