- Five Hundred, Twenty-Five Thousand, Six Hundred Minutesby Sans Souci on January 16, 2025 at 5:29 pm
[if viewing on a device and photos are not fully visible, tap on one and scroll sideways] It has taken me a year to tackle Robert’s obit. I couldn’t face it. The words didn’t come. Then they came and there were too many. Then there were not enough. Now, it is done. The best I could do. It will be published nationally on Saturday in The New York Times, January 18, 2025 on the ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of his passing. He read The Times everyday, never missed a day since he was a pre-teen. All those years. Now one year … Continue reading →
- Knockin’ On Heaven’s Doorby Sans Souci on January 12, 2025 at 7:37 pm
This post is not numbered. It is no longer the mother-story. It is no longer the husband-story. It’s MY story. Maybe I should number it 1. First. The new Beginning. Yes, I know, it has been two months since the last post. The gaps have been filled by stuff. Weird stuff. Elections (I’m not going there), feeling stuck, too much on the to-do list, too many holidays, learning how to navigate life my way. A year after someone passes there is an “unveiling” of the headstone. I think It’s kind of a smack upside the head to let you know … Continue reading →
- When A Month Will Never Be The Sameby Sans Souci on November 7, 2024 at 5:27 pm
November is “my month.” It was actually the family month. We would hang the Happy Birthday sign across the wall-unit and there it would stay from beginning to end, reminding us of another year. The 5th…the 11th…the 30th. It’s different now. My birthday, on the 5th marks another year for which I am grateful. But it is a bit scary and daunting as the numbers go up. As a child, it would fall on election day every few years and that was special. A day off from school. A meat ball and spaghetti birthday party with … Continue reading →

- 2024 Postal Summaryby Evan K. on January 2, 2025 at 3:23 am
Welcome to yet another slightly late retrospective of postal travels. Turns out this is the 15th annual year-end postal tabulation post! Holy cow, how time flies. This year I visited 489 new post offices (and photographed 623 in all). My current grand total is 11,890 post offices across the U.S. It's actually getting a little tricky to catalogue these travels, because even when I'm not visiting
- The 2025 Calendar of Post Offices and Placesby Evan K. on November 30, 2024 at 1:58 am
This ninth edition of the Postlandia Calendar of Post Offices and Places is dedicated to my father, long-time science teacher Robert Kalish, who passed away in January. As of the time of this writing his 78th birthday would have been tomorrow. Dad started collecting postmarks in 1960 and visited a decent nunber of post offices himself. Here's a slide of him in front of the (
- 2023 Postal Summaryby Evan K. on January 7, 2024 at 2:09 am
Whoops! It's not the first time a year-end postal summary has come out a little late. Alas. When you've been at this a long time it can become difficult to encounter low-lying postal fruit. Why, I finished visiting most if not all of the post offices [near me] in New York City, Long Island, north Jersey, and Connecticut a decade ago. Getting to new post offices requires effort; sometimes days of
- It's Been a Long, Long Timeby The Blog of Bee on November 26, 2022 at 8:34 pm
Yes, it's been a long, long time. I started blogging many years ago. It was virtually a daily ritual which I made time for regardless of what was happening in my life. But times change. A great deal of water under the bridge since those days. Time doesn't seem to allow these days, for the […]
- All Souls and a Birthday 2021by The Blog of Bee on November 2, 2021 at 3:30 pm
Today, the 2nd November is All Souls' Day. It's also my husband's birthday and he has been part of that group for 12 days short of five years. For years I wrote about All Souls followed by a normally humorous tagline which read that it was also my husband's birthday adding what might or might […]

Our House - Light Bulb Moment! Apart from the hose detaching itself from the vacuum cleaner this morning, it was an uneventful weekend. That was, until about an hour ago when I tried to turn on the standard lamp and nothing happened. Dammit! After several attempts of fiddling with the […]
