Is it the onset of spring, ever associated in art and the imagination with rejuvenation, rebirth, and romance, that has my thoughts turning again and again towards affairs of the heart these days, as I recall early times at Cheers?  Perhaps.  It was at this time that I discovered prehensile isotonic geometrics, yet

How you doin' there Normy?

NORMY!!!

Forever stamps are an abomination meant to undermine the Post Office from within.  In the good old days you bought a stamp that represented a certain value - 37 cents worth of postage, for example, which generally corresponded with the going rate of mailing your standard envelope.  When the postage rates were raised
