MAIL! It’s nice to know there still is some. Today I got a very nice note from the tenant I met at 9134 Hargis Street, where my mom grew up and my grandparents lived for more than 30 years and where I revisited during spring break. I got a postcard of Tbilisi, Georgia from my office mate Bob I. but with a stamp from Louisiana, and from Amazon the DVD of the documentary Then There Were None by Dr. Elizabeth Kapu-uwailani Lindsey, who is purportedly the great-granddaughter of Hawaiian high chiefs and English seafarers. But the best delivery of all was one the US post office didn’t make: Jutta and my shared diary, delivered by a lovely woman named Monica, back from Germany and on her way between Mountain View, where her daughter lives, and Mendocino, where she has her home.
