Catching Up: The April and May Mailbag

I've fallen behind as usual, but with good reason. I haven't been mailing as much, I've been 'graphing baseball a bit, playing floorball, and doing music with my church (Oak Cliff Unitarian Universalist) every week. And I want to add more music to the schedule. Plus my Cavs and Penguins are alive in the NHL and NBA playoffs. So most of my focus has been elsewhere.

On the positive side, the older ones I sent out have been trickling their way back in...

APRIL 6
Freddie Thompson, 4 cards and a short note, 23 days

APRIL 7
Esse Baharmast, 2 cards and a note, 24 days

APRIL 11
Eddie Radwanski, 2 cards and a note, 32 days
Jean Willrich, 4 cards, 28 days

APRIL 14
Tony Glavin, 3 cards and a note, 31 days

APRIL 18
Paul Dougherty, 4 cards, 39 days
Tasso Koutsoukos, 1 card, 19 days (to Canada)

APRIL 22
Mark Simanton, 2 cards, 43 days

APRIL 27
Drew Ferguson, 1 card and a note, 28 days

MAY 6
Batata, 2 cards and a note, 57 days

MAY 14
Scott Manning, 6 cards and a note, 45 days

MAY 19
Jim Gorsek, 5 cards, 73 days

I'm really happy especially to get Gorsek back. He was mailed the same day as Preki, Paul Wright, and Kai Haaskivi. A friend of mine got Preki back quickly while I'm still waiting, so obviously I was getting a bit worried that maybe that whole batch got lost in the mail. My paranoia is unfounded though: in addition to Gorsek, I had already gotten Tatu and six out of the nine baseball players I had mailed to in that March 7 mailing.

I have a roll of stamps and a list of football (as in NFL) players I'll be sending to in the next few weeks. I likely will add some soccer to that list too.
