Package Number 1

I'm pleased to report that the first package I sent to myself, the one that had a two week head start but still got beat by packages 2, 4, 5, and 6, finally arrived a day or two ago. Or what's left of it. Put plainly, the package looked like it went to Hell and back. Fortunately, somewhere along the way, it was wrapped completely in another layer of tape in an attempt to preserve its structural integrity. Also, fortunately, all of the books that were inside came through in fine shape.

I'm going to have to find a better way to ship these books back. But that's a problem for next year.

Now the wait begins for package number 3. Where are you package number 3? Please phone (or at least arrive at what we are temporarily calling) home.
