A postcard a day, from a large collection of postcards received, sent to me by me, and/or collected over the last 30+ years.

Stamps are the other cool thing about postcards. This postcard comes from my friends, Marsha and Ralph, who went out of their way to mail it from Jordan, just so Jordanian stamps would be on it.
I've been sending and receiving postcards for over 30 years. When I travel, I send a postcard to myself, even if it's just a one day business trip. I badger my friends to send me postcards when they go on trips. I collected postcard ads from those free postcard dispensers, that used to be found near bathrooms and phone booths in public places around the world. I have a scrapbook of postcards, sent between 1902 and 1905 to my great grandfather from an aunt, who appears to have been traveling extensively around Europe. First post: July 5, 2009
Mar, I'm loving all these postcards! Each one is like a fun little trip!

OK, I have to add here that the verification code I had to enter for that previous comment was: forackfi. Is it just me, or does that sound dirty??
