And the Ship Sails On
By Joel Brouwer
He faced the sink, one foot up
on the edge of the tub. She stood
behind him, reaching around.
In the mirror, her face rose
over his shoulder like the moon,
and like the moon she regarded him
beautifully but without feeling,
and he looked at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Link Round-Up: 6 Random Links</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Six random and only vaguely related things that I&#8217;m loving this week:

&#8220;Snacks of the Great Scribblers&#8221; from the New York Times (a portion of which is shown above).
Beyond the Perf&#8217;s 2012 stamp preview (I&#8217;m loving the cherry blossom design).
Fab.com&#8217;s daily design bargins.
Hipster Puppies&#8211; I feel this is pretty self-explanatory.
Pinwheels and their symbolism
The &#8220;Airmail Origami&#8221; T-Shirt [...]]]></description>

		<title>Countdown Begins!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
We&#8217;re getting hitched Friday!  Whoa.  Here is a super sneaky peak at the dress, necklace, and a few of the many pinwheel &#8220;flowers&#8221; I made this weekend.  I&#8217;m sure that this breaks some kind of wedding jinx&#8230; But, to be honest, Jon and I have broken pretty much all the wedding jinx/traditions/superstitions.  At this point, [...]]]></description>

Owney&#8217;s stamp is unveiled! 
Big, big changes coming up this week; dudes, I&#8217;m getting married.  Also, we *may* have found an apartment for the next phase adventure.
Anyway, after a week of traveling for work, followed by apartment hunting and exploring a my new city, interrupted by a sneaky, 22 hour trip to Martha&#8217;s Vineyard to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Postal Workers Union on CNN, Fox, and MSNBC</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Just a friendly reminder from the American Postal Workers&#8217; Union&#8230;  Absolutely zero tax payer dollars are used to support the USPS!  They deliver a ton of mail (several tons, actually) and it&#8217;s supported entirely by stamp and postage sales.  In case you&#8217;d like to do your part to help out the USPS&#8211; the 2011 stamps [...]]]></description>

		<title>48222: Floating Post Office</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Love this &#8220;postcard&#8221; that WBEZ put together about Detroit&#8217;s floating post office.  The ship, J.W. Westcott, is only 45 feet long but has its own zip code!  Since 1874 the service has delivered mail and other packages to the many large ships that come and go throughout the great lakes. Wikipedia explains that:

Any mail addressed [...]]]></description>

		<title>McSweeney&#8217;s Covers the Civil War by Post</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Page one of the first dispatch
Loving this series from McSweeney&#8217;s, &#8220;Dispatches from Civil War Reenactments.&#8221;  I&#8217;m personally and professionally a sucker for all things Civil War, re-enacting related, or produced by the fine folks at McSweeney&#8217;s.  However, I&#8217;m especially a fan of these handwritten notes about the process and experience of participating in reenactments. I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Happy Postbox in Wonderland Room</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
One of my most favorite Etsy shops belongs to Wonderland Room.  When I need to stock up on washi tape, Japanese or Korean stationery, and other clever paper goods I always browse there.  Just look what I found this weekend&#8211; the Happy Postbox!  If only I knew enough Korean to know what the happy postbox [...]]]></description>

		<title>Poetry Friday: &#8220;Of History and Hope&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Trying to choose a poem for the 4th of July weekend, I realized just how much of my favorite poetry is about America either implicitly or explicitly.  Picking one for this weekend, I thought about re-posting one of those older ones.  But then, I came across this poem from Miller Williams and it just sums [...]]]></description>

		<title>On (Not) Planning a Wedding</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
A few years ago, in DE
Jon and I are sprinting towards an early August wedding&#8211; for lots of reasons a long engagement just isn&#8217;t for us.  When I realized that we&#8217;d be doing a courthouse wedding (weirdly, long before he even popped the question) I felt this great sense of relief.  When Jon said he [...]]]></description>
