day 169 of 365

Driving down the back roads of West Barnstable, I spotted this desk, which looked like it had been set free to enjoy the great outdoors and wide open spaces. Free at last!

OK. So we found this note in our mailbox yesterday, and thought it was pretty funny and so cute! -- obviously written by kids, it is an enticing advertisement for ladies and men with marriage potential. And they're free!

The word blacked out was a word I had never heard before, so I thought the kids had made it up (it appeared to be a misspelling of "hunky" or "chunky".) So I laughed (those kooky kids!) and got all ready to post it here, and then decided to look the word up, just in case. That trusty resource, The Urban Dictionary, enlightened me that it was NOT a word I'd want to post on my blog. Or a word that 7-year olds who can't spell "ladies" or "marry" should even know.

So I invite you to insert your own naughty word in it's place. Be creative! No one will know, unless you post it in their mailbox.

I've been reading the latest PostSecret book. Here is one of my own secrets, revealed. It happened when I was just 19, only a few years older than my children are now. So today, I send this out into the universe and set it free. Be at peace, Jay.
