Saved by the USPS!

Thank GOODNESS the b-day card I sent to my dad arrived yesterday (Mon) despite not going out on Fri (fed'l holiday), so my forgetting to call him on Sun (actual b-day) (BAD ME - and I'm usually SO good 'bout this sorta thing), along w/my pleading illness and lameness in last night's oops-happy-day-late e-mail, made it much better. Phew!
