Oh, Riley - you came up with a *why didn't I think of that?* feature - the little bouncy hearts. I don't have any more of these stamps - and will have to resist the temptation to buy more, if they are even available. Black and red designs are so versatile.
That's a goofy set of cancels - both Albany as well as Des Moines. More USPS mysteries.

Can you have too much moderation?
That's a trick question.
Of course you can have too much moderation. I think too much moderation is the definition of boring. Although *boring* defies definition or description.
I am a fiend for penmanship which is probably a boring topic - to most people.
On my personal spectrum - the most boring thing I can think of is watching sports. Admitting that out loud is something I avoid. I've spent a lotta time watching my kids play sports. I've spent a little time watching my grandson play baseball. I have my own mental activity while watching sports. I pretend I am drawing. It's easier than actually drawing and I don't need any supplies.
Back in the day, when my boys were playing a lot of hockey and I was driving them around to tournaments, I was happy to do it because I could see the value of team sports. Recently I saw or read something and neglected to save the source - but it made me so happy to have my intuition from my sports-watching years confirmed. I had a sense that people who like sports are embracing their inner-cave-dwellers. When survival was the only available career, people had to depend on their teams.
Fast forward to the 21st century and people are still wildly enthusiastic about their teams. Ten year old boys all the way to senior citizens. One thing the article pointed out was that today, when the Cubs win - everyone is happy and exclaimed, "We won!" But if the Cubs lose, everyone says, "They lost." Nuf said.
Tomorrow I might be able to remember what the sport-avoidance people bring to the table.
