I promised last month that anyone who sent us a letter -- or baked goods -- while we're visiting Los Angeles for the month would be responded to in kind. Of course "in kind" means with a letter. Not with baked goods. Just for the record.

On our way out, January had the idea that we should send a postcard every day to someone back home, regardless of whether or not they wrote us first. It sounded like a fun idea, and who can't find time to fill out a postcard, right? It's, like, twelve square inches of space. Of course, the first week blew by and neither of us has written a single postcard.  This evening, I decided to break the habit and write the first of what will hopefully be thirty-two postcards. Recipient #1: Jason Leimgruber.

Jason, I'm not sure if you can read it just from the photograph or not, but you should have it in hand shortly. Treasure it, knowing it was sent from a much warmer place than where it arrived.

My offer for a full-blown letter still stands. We've already received a letter from the lovely Miss Kelly McKenna, and we'd love to hear from you, too. You can write us at:
