Re: Damaged mailbox

I’m writing to you regarding my mailbox which was damaged by “Our Town” plow truck. The incident took place on Thursday, 2/7/08 between 11:30 AM-12:00 PM.

At 8:00 AM, our mailbox was in good condition as I removed the previous day’s mail before dropping my son and niece off at the bus stop for school.

“I think you should dye your hair”

I said as my husband gave me the quizzical look as if to say ‘what are you smokin’ this time!’

“No really, your hair is all gray and you’re not even 40 yet! When we go out people might think that you’re my dad!”

After he dusted himself off of the floor from laughing hysterically,

he said “nah, people will think you’re my trophy wife!”

That’s the reason why I married him folks, he certainly knows what to say.

Although we don’t bleed red, white and blue in true Patriots colors but it still hurts right now thinking about the disappointing loss of the Trophy to the Giants last night. Perfect season (18-0) comes down to one important game and boy did the Patriots blow it BIG!  It was just painful, like having the worst constipation kind of pain watching the game.
