If you're a regular reader of this blog, you've probably noticed that I listen to National Public Radio on a pretty regular schedule. Recently, the This I Believe essay on the Bob Edwards Weekend show was all about the importance and satisfaction of writing thank you letters. I think we can all agree with the sentiments expressed by Michelle Lee. Give it a listen. Add your own notes about thank yous in the comments.
And thank you for reading,
Donovan

Sharp-eyed {and eared} member Alice S. alerted me to a fantastic series going on right now at BBC 4. It's a 15-part program called The Peoples Post which will only be available for a limited time. There's aditional information from the British Postal Museum and Archive as well as on their blog, where the image above is from.
Happy Postal Listening,

While I've never been walking on the shore and found the proverbial glass bottle, stoppered and sea-worn; I have been the lucky recipient of a few mailed messages in the bottle. It's funny what the P.O. will sometimes mail through and sometimes return, but it's totally worth it when an experiment pays off.
If you, like me, adore the romance of the message in the bottle, here's a great BBC documentary by Nina Perry about them. If you feel you want to send one yourself, but would like a little help, Margaret at Paper Pastries has you covered. Remember, if you do send a mail experiment and want to share it with us, put it up on the L.W.A. Flickr group!
P.S. Thanks to David for the link to the documentary!
