The Mail. Now that I'm old, going out to get the mail has become like that old golf book, "A Good Walk Wasted". If it weren't for grocery ads, AARP, pre-paid cremation offers, hearing aid pitches, life insurance invitations, Senior Living Complex brochures, and political solicitations ... the box would be empty. Except for the calendars. I now have six - yes six - for 2017. The Humane Society, National Wildlife Federation, The Nature Conservancy, Alley Cat Allies, World Wildlife Fund, and the Arbor Day Foundation. Having reached a point in my life when I have little use for calendars, this seems a bit strange. Much like the gold watch presented to a man who is retiring and no longer needs to be bothered with what time it is.
Oh, I almost forgot the return address labels. I have a ten-year supply. Some of them even have my name spelled right.
If you need a calendar, let me know. I have extras.
