Last night I burned eight music CDs. Each pair of two was wrapped in an identical piece of cardboard and placed inside one of four identical envelops. I used the same Sharpie to address each. This morning I took them to the post office to be mailed. The clerk weighed each envelope separately while calculating the correct postage. Two envelopes weighed about 20% less than the other two. Do you think it was because they had fewer songs burned onto the CDs? I’ll leave you to ponder this and other mysteries for the next week, as I am heading out to Myrtle Beach in the morning for five days of golf, poker, cocktails and stories with some pals from my college daze. I also have the new Jack Reacher paperback with me in case I finally get tired of hearing the same stories we tell every year. Fortunately the stories are different every year due to diminished memories and shifting agendas. (Or is it agendi?)
