Me-mail
I put something in the mail today. Not in the electronic mail, but in one of those red boxes that are serviced by Canada Post. I know, it’s strange. But believe it or not, the company that provides heating oil to my home does not offer the option of making an online payment, so I write a cheque every month and drop it in the mail. Still works, too. Imagine that.
As I carried out the monthly ritual this morning, I did as I have always done. Open the slot, drop in the envelope, then re-open the slot to ensure the envelope found it’s way into the box — lest the mail carrier miss it. Just the way Mom taught me when I used to mail letters as a kid. I guess old habits really do die hard.
