Friends, I came home to the most exciting package last Sunday. My very own pigeon. I patiently waited while the flock received necessary training in Italy. And now he’s here (or at least I think he’s a he)! He had a long journey so I’m giving him some time to stretch his wings and orient himself with New York City.

Naturally, I’m eager to send him off with very important correspondence. Perhaps a dry run to Brooklyn first? And then I’m thinking a trip to Florida–my future niece and nephew would get a big kick out of a bird in their mailbox. Where would you send him? And does he look like a Paco or maybe more like a Phoenix? This exceedingly handsome boy needs a name. I welcome all suggestions. I hope you all have splendid weekend plans that involve pens + postage.
