  • When A Month Will Never Be The Same
    by 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 →

  • Part 36: Blogging for Breast Cancer: It’s Complicated
    by Sans Souci on October 12, 2024 at 6:15 pm

    It has been twenty years since my first bout with breast cancer. At the nineteen year mark, thinking I had a lifetime pass for paying my dues, I was shocked and freaked out by cancer’s recurrence, in the remaining breast. This time it wasn’t DCIS, where a bunch of microcalcifications were seen on a mammogram. In 2004, the oncologist spoke to his cronies at Memorial Sloan Kettering who told him that because I had had a mastectomy I didn’t need chemo or radiation. Philosophies change over the years. Had I had that “ductal carcinoma in situ,” now, I might have … Continue reading →

  • 2023 Postal Summary
    by 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

  • The 2024 Calendar of Post Offices and Places
    by Evan K. on November 23, 2023 at 12:42 am

    I've been visiting and documenting post offices for 15 years now. This means I'm a bit older than I used to be. Yet, it also means I still have ridiculous amounts of fun exploring various corners of the country and collecting stories along the way. I don't really share those stories on the blog anymore, but it's not to say these stories aren't worth sharing. These years I've just dedicated my

    Well, that lap around the sun went by quickly. Welcome to my 13th annual summary of the post offices and places I've visited. This was another comparatively light year: 424 new post offices spanning eight states, for a total of 10,984 post offices. This year I also revisited several dozen post offices for updated postmarks and photographs. Two sizable trips accounted for all the new territory

    OK, maybe I’m not really desperate.  But that sounds so much more dramatic and compelling than “Dilettante Will Dabble”, doesn’t it?   Part of my ever-so-courageous new endeavor is that I’m actually telling other people about it.  That’s for accountability.  … Continue reading →

    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 […]

     Today, the 2nd November is All Souls' Day.

    We decorated the tree today with the help of the small human living next door. He doesn’t celebrate Christmas, but he’s enthralled by all things Christmas. So, I am trying to respect his traditions while including him in ones he is showing interest in. It’s a win-win I think, because I miss my littles so
