Comments Growth Spurt
Growth Spurt: 04/22/05
For the last week or two Sean's two main goals in life have been eating and sleeping. If he's awake, he's hungry. If he's not eating, he's wanting a nap. Last night we measured him and realized he's grown two inches! That makes for four inches growth in a year. He's now three feet, two inches tall. He's going to be a tall adult.
Book Lost in the Mail:
I got a note in the mail from the post office apologizing for losing a book I'd mailed to Australia. It got loose in Los Angeles. Along with the note was a form mostly filled out save for a description of what was in the package. The note asked me to fill out the remainder of the form and send it onto St. Paul Minnesota to see if the post office can reunite me with my wayward book.Of course I was annoyed at the loss of a book. Who wouldn't be? It was a book ring for Book Crossing and so I feel obligated to replace the book to keep the ring going. Fortunately the book is still in print and easy to find used. I've already got a "new" copy coming to me to send on again to Australia.
On the other hand, I'm glad that the post office took the initiative to tell me the book had gotten lost in their custody. I appreciate their honesty. I'll be amazed if they can find the book and send it back to me.
