For the love . . .

Mr. Postman

28 August, 2012 by moi

Remember, the first of the year when I proclaimed myself resolute in writing one letter, each month?

Yeah, August is the first month that actually happened.

Even then I found myself woefully inept. I’ll need to write an addendum email to catch all the tidbits missed.

Pitiful.

Speaking of which, it was the end of August, 1961 that The Marvelettes released their single Please Mr. Postman. It went on to become the first Motown song to reach #1 on the Billboard Hot 100–a feat repeated in 1975, with the Carpenters. Even today, it remains some good times. As a matter of fact, it would be a fine way to regroup. So have yourself a break (might I suggest almond chocolate biscotti dipped in coffee?) and party down to the Motown sound . . .

PS–That cover art seems a bit premonitory, non? It kinda makes me want to eat another biscotti . . .

Just in case you're wondering what you've gotten yourself into, my blog's a lot like life: it's a hodge-podge. So pour yourself a steaming cup of goodness, settle in, and I'll tell you all about it--whatever 'it' happens to be . . .

The fine print

Magpie & Muttonfly is the place where I write about all the things that make our stories grand. Emphasis on me, myself, and I. Any review or recommendation posted on this site is solely my own {unless otherwise noted}. Occasionally you will find a link to Amazon.com. An eternal window shopper, I only list items that strike my fancy. Any time you click the link and proceed to make a purchase, I get a wee referral fee. You will not be charged more--but once or twice a year I earn enough to purchase a tin of my favorite tea. So I do thank you for that!
