"<your name>@usps.com"

I heard a news story on NPR.org about the billions of dollars the United States Post Office lost this past year. And it struck me that at it's core the USPS is about delivery. So, what if at the birth of the expansion of the internet, when yahoo and hotmail began offering free email, what if the leaders of the USPS saw the explosion email would be globally and offered free email as usps.com. I bet 9 of 10 people who made the decision to pick a free email service would have chosen <your name>@usps.com over yahoo and hotmail. I know I would have. No doubt. It makes so much sense to have the same company that handles my home mail, handle my email. And today USPS would not be known as just snail mail. Not sure how the USPS could have capitalized on multimillions of people having free email serviced by the United States Post Office, but I'm sure lots of people would be thinking of lots of ideas :)

I Got "Carried" Away....

And it was fabulous! One of my best friend's and I went to see "Sex And The City" on opening night. We weren't quite prepared for the crowds....well honestly, we knew there would be crowds we just didn't bother to plan...why? Well, I have a new job and I love it! So, since I'm the one that usually does the planning I waited too late, Friday afternoon, to get tickets. All the theaters in the city were sold out and the ones across the bay were sold out as well. We went to each theater, one after the other, to hear or see sold out again and again. After three theatres we finally found a 10:15pm show at a Landmark art house theater. It was 6:45 pm, so we had 3.5 hours to kill. We then went to two restaurants before we finally settled on going to the italilan restaurant across the street from the theater....it suffices to say I did alot of driving that night within a 10 mile radius. In the end it was all worth it! I LOVED the movie! And I especially loved Carrie's discovery of the filtered emails from Big (remember her assistant had the emails from Big go to secure folder protected by the password, "Love"...aaaahhh) declaring his undying love for Carrie :) It was the perfect ending to an enduring love!
